Provided is a fishing reel having a magnet disposed in a circumferential direction crossing the axial direction of a spool and, more particularly, a fishing reel that can increase a braking force control range even without an increase in size and can maximize a casting distance by preventing backlash and preventing reduction of a casting distance due to a braking force by using a magnet brake. The fishing reel includes a spool having a drum on which a fishing line is wound, and a magnet brake including a holder disposed on a side of the spool and a magnet mounted on the holder in a circumferential direction crossing an axial direction of the spool to have inner and outer facing surfaces and generating a braking force to the spool.

A braking system for a fishing reel (10) is described, of the type comprising a body (12) and a spool (16) made of metal and rotatably supported by the body (12) for rotation about an axis of rotation (y) to allow, depending on its direction of rotation, winding or unwinding of a fishing line (18). The braking system comprises: at least one magnet (26) arranged to be movably mounted on the body (12), next to the spool (16), to generate eddy currents in the spool (16) by electromagnetic induction, as a result of the rotation of the spool (16); adjusting means (32, 38) associated to the at least one magnet (26) to adjust distance of the latter from the spool (16), thereby adjusting the intensity of the braking force applied onto the spool (16); and electronic control means (44) connected to the adjusting means (32, 38) and programmed to control the adjusting means (32, 38) so as to adjust the distance of the at least one magnet (26) from the spool (16), and hence the braking force applied onto the spool (16).

A fishing reel can include a cage assembly defining an opening to removably receive a spool and a spool positioned in the cage assembly operable to rotate about an axis of rotation. The reel can also include a crank coupled to the cage assembly and operable to rotate the spool when the crank is rotated. The reel can also include a braking assembly removably positioned on a side of the cage assembly opposite to the crank, the braking assembly including at least one magnet, the magnet having an arcuate shape that spans a braking arc length concentric with the axis of rotation, the braking arc length defined by an arc measure of at least about 90°.

Provided is a fishing reel with movable magnet brake using a centrifugal force, the fishing reel including operation arms hinged in a spool and being rotated by a centrifugal force due to rotation of the spool, and a pad holder coupled to be able to move forward and backward in the longitudinal direction of a spool shaft and having a brake pad receiving attraction of a braking magnet, in which forward and backward positions of the pad holder are changed and the distance between the braking magnet and the brake pad is adjusted in accordance with a rotational angle of the operation arms due to a centrifugal force, whereby the braking force of the magnet brake decreases.

In some embodiments, the system for magnetic braking in fishing reels includes a fishing reel including a spool, a lever, a rotor, and a movable slider device. The rotor includes a plurality of spaced-apart holes and a plurality of magnets in the plurality of holes. The slider device includes a first sheet, a second sheet and a third sheet. Each of the second sheet and the third sheet include a magnet in a hole. The slider device is movable between a first position and a second position, where the first position is farther apart from a center of the rotor. The interactions between the one or more magnets of the movable slider device and the plurality of the magnets of the rotor cause the rotor to brake when the movable slider device is at the second position.

I provide a braking device attachable to a body frame having one bearing member that pivotally supports a spool and an operation means for rotating the spool, including another bearing member that pivotally supports the spool; a spool brake; a control board that controls the braking force of the spool brake; a battery that supplies power to the control board; and a cover member that covers the battery and the board.

A reel braking adjustment device includes a tensile force-related information acquisition unit and a braking parameter correction unit. The tensile force-related information acquisition unit is configured to acquire tensile force-related information. The tensile force-related information is information that is related to tensile force acting on a fishing line and detected during a fishing line discharge period in which the fishing line is released from a dual-bearing reel configured to brake rotation of a spool based on a braking parameter. The braking parameter correction unit is configured to correct braking parameters based on temporal changes in the tensile force-related information acquired by the tensile force-related information acquisition unit.

A fishing reel provided with a fixed constant brake and a movable inertial force brake is provided. In the fishing reel, a user may adjust a braking force to use according to his or her fishing method by utilizing only advantages of conventional centrifugal brakes, magnet brakes, and inertial force brakes, the advantages including prevention of pad wear, prevention of casting distance reduction and backlash when a spool rotates at a low speed, compatible use tailored to left-handed or right-handed handles, etc.

The present invention discloses a magnetic damping mechanism of a fishing reel, including a carrier having a magnet, a damping disc disposed on reel shaft and being rotatable together with the reel shaft, an adjustment knob partially exposed out of the side cover, a driving member engaged with the adjustment knob, and a base connected to the driving member. The base has a through hole for receiving the damping disc; a main spring, which enables the rocker arm to always have a trend to rotate away from the damping disc, is disposed on the base. When the magnetic lines are cut and the induced current is generated when the damping disc rotates together with the reel, the rocker arm is drawn close to the damping disc in the axial direction, to generate a greater damping force. That is, the faster the reel rotates, the more the rocker arm is drawn.

A braking force control device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is a braking force control device provided with a spool pivotally supported by a reel body, the spool on which a fishing line may be wound, a rotational speed detection unit that detects a rotational speed of the spool, a braking unit that generates a braking force to the spool, and a braking force control unit that controls the braking force of the braking unit, in which the braking force control unit adjusts the braking force according to elapsed time from when casting starts or detection information of the rotational speed detection unit.
