A handle is rotatably attached to a first reel body. A second reel body has a cylindrical shape, and is an interval apart from the first reel body in an axial direction. A spool is disposed between the first reel body and the second reel body. A mount includes a mount surface facing in a first direction to contact the fishing rod when the dual-bearing reel is mounted to the fishing rod. The second reel body includes an outer peripheral surface and an outer lateral surface. The outer lateral surface faces outward in the axial direction, and the outer peripheral surface of the second reel body has a width narrower towards a first directional end of the second reel body than towards a second directional end of the second reel body. The second directional end is opposite to the first direction end.

Provided is a fishing reel equipped with a replaceable hood top. The fishing reel includes: a frame having a mount; two side covers coupled to both sides of the frame; a spool disposed inside the mount of the frame and coupled to the side covers through a shaft; a reel foot coupled to a bottom of the frame to be mounted on a fishing rod; a hood coupled to a top of the frame; a handle coupled to a side of the frame through a shaft to rotate the spool; and a tension nut disposed on a side of the frame to adjust a casting distance by controlling a rotational speed of a spool shaft. The hood has coupling portions, and a replaceable hood top is coupled to the coupling portions.

Improvements in an arm rest for a fishing pole is disclosed. The arm rest in this disclosure utilizes a replacement reel seat and handle attachment bracket which are installed around the rod blank using epoxy. The replacement reel seat fits onto the outside diameter of the pole and engages into the reel to transfer forces from the reel to the arm rest. A forearm cup is used to distribute loads across a wider area of the arm. The further distance from the reel, the forces are reduced by virtue of distance from the pivot point. Some adjustment allows for accommodating variation in user preference and arm geometry to minimize fatigue. The handle attachment bracket can be combined with a fore grip so the user can install any style of reel seat and in front of the reel body prior to installing the forearm cup or handle.

A fishing line rinse apparatus having a bucket with a drain spout. A perforated spool with a level wind is disposed on a shaft with a first quick-connector. A drive housing has a base with a pair of pulleys, and a hollow vertical column. A drive disposed within the hollow vertical column of the drive housing has a horizontal drive shaft, a differential, and a vertical drive shaft, wherein the horizontal drive shaft has a second quick-connector that engages the first quick-connector. The vertical drive shaft is selectively engageable with a drill, allowing a drill outside the bucket to spin the spool submerged in water in the bucket to wind and unwind the fishing line, thus rinsing the fishing line and transferring it from a rod to the spool and vice versa. A brake with a thumb screw is disposed on the spool to apply pressure while rewinding the line.

A reel suitable for bow fishing and the like provides a cowling covering a reel with a wide opening to reduce frictional restraint on high-speed paying out of the line with the flight of the arrow. An optional guide arm may be used to minimize line diversion and hence friction during line payout while absorbing forces when the line is retracted permitting use of a lighter cowling design without loss of strength. A high torque bevel gear transmission and safety lighting is further provided.

The topside trolling reel is an adapter that attaches a trolling reel to the bottom side of a spin casting reel. The trolling reel is further defined with a cage, a spool, a tensioner, a handle, and a trolling reel foot. The cage is further defined with a first end disk, a second end disk, and a plurality of cage bars. The topside trolling reel comprises a trolling reel and a spinning rod adapter. The spinning rod adapter attaches the cage of the trolling reel to the traditional bottom mount of a spin casting reel rod. In the first potential embodiment of the disclosure, the spinning rod adapter is attached to the cage of the trolling reel using four readily and commercially available screws. The spinning rod adapter is then attached normally to a reel seat provisioned spin casting reel rod.

A fishing reel which includes a covering or enclosure that can also be functionally used as a toy car when detached from the fishing rod. The fishing reel functions as traditional spincast fishing reel when attached to the fishing rod. The reel enclosure is formed in the shape of a toy vehicle and is detachable from the fishing rod. Once removed, the reel enclosure can be reassembled and used as a toy vehicle independent of the rod.

Provided is a universal fishing reel in which an intermediate frame body is configured such that a third mounting portion for a spool of the frame body has a body surrounder covering the outer sides of both large-diameter portions having different sizes of spool bodies for winding a line to universally receive all different kinds of spools and the body surrounder has an inner diameter corresponding to the minimum large-diameter portions of different kinds of spools, or a first intermediate or second intermediate cover is configured such that a cover surrounder has an inner diameter corresponding to the minimum large-diameter portions of different kinds of spools when a gear-side first side cover or a palm-side second side cover has the cover surrounder covering the outer side of both large-diameter portions of a spool body.

The present reel unit is a reel unit for a dual-bearing reel supporting a spool in a rotatable state. The reel unit includes a frame, a fishing rod attachment leg and a thinned part. The frame includes a first side plate, a second side plate disposed in opposition to the first side plate to enable the spool to be disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate, and a plurality of coupling members integrally formed with the first side plate and the second side plate to couple the first side plate and the second side plate. The fishing rod attachment leg is fixed to an outer surface of one of the plurality of coupling members. The thinned part has a box-like recessed shape and is formed on an inner surface, faced to the spool, of the coupling member to which the fishing rod attachment leg is fixed.

A reel seat comprises a seat main body that comprises a reel leg placing portion to which a reel leg is placed and fixed and a tubular portion provided with an opening hole into which a rear end portion of a rod is fitted and fixed, and a grip is disposed on a rear side of the reel leg placing portion. The opening hole is formed so the rod to be fitted and fixed is offset downward relative to an axial center X of the grip, is formed further on a lower side than the reel leg placing portion, and is formed so that a rear end edge of the rod is located further on a rear side than a front end of a reel leg in a state where the reel leg of a fishing reel is placed and fixed to the reel leg placing portion.
