According to the present disclosure, in a fishing reel that comprises component members of various types arranged in a reel body, winds up a fishing line around a spool, and releases the fishing line that has been wound up around the spool, the component members are arranged in a contact state or a proximity state, the component members comprising different types of materials that are different in a raw material, and a corrosion member is attachably/detachably arranged on the component members in a conductive state, the corrosion member having a potential difference that is greater than the potential difference between the component members comprising the different types of materials.

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.

A fishing reel includes a lipped seal in the axial direction of the pinion of the fishing reel. An axial seal, rather than radial seal, provides a contact seal that relies less on manufacturing consistencies of the parts within the fishing reel.

A dual-bearing reel configured to feed a fishing line forward is disclosed. The dual-bearing reel includes a reel body and a handle. The reel body has a first side plate, a second side plate, and a connecting portion. The first side plate includes a circular portion having a circular shape, and a bulging portion bulging forward and downward from the circular portion. The second side plate is circular and disposed apart from the first side plate. The connecting portion connects the first side plate and the second side plate. The handle is rotatably mounted on the first side plate. A first central axis of the circular portion of the first side plate is offset forward and downward from a second central axis of the second side plate.

A fishing reel includes a reel body, a first shaft member, a second shaft member, a rolling element, and an outer member. The first shaft member is rotatably supported by the reel body. The second shaft member is connected to an end of the first shaft member in an axial direction of the first shaft member. The second shaft member rotates integrally with the first shaft member. The rolling element contacts the second shaft member in a radial direction away from an axial center of the first shaft member. The outer member is disposed outside the rolling element in the radial direction. The outer member rotates integrally with the second shaft member only in one direction along a circumferential direction around the axial center of the first shaft member.

A fishing reel includes a lipped seal in the axial direction of the pinion of the fishing reel. An axial seal, rather than radial seal, provides a contact seal that relies less on manufacturing consistencies of the parts within the fishing reel.

A spinning fishing reel includes a housing, a line spool reciprocatingly moveable relative to the housing, a rotor rotatable relative to the line spool, a gear disc rotatably mounted inside the housing, and a handle assembly. The gear disc includes a shaft tube, and an internal thread portion and a stop portion both provided at an inner wall of the shaft tube. The handle assembly includes a handle and a drive shaft having a first end pivotally connected with the handle. The drive shaft has an external thread portion engaged with the internal thread portion of the gear disc in a way that the drive shaft is penetrated through an opening of the housing and inserted into the shaft tube of the gear disc, and a second end of the drive shaft is abutted against the stop portion of the gear disc.

A fly-fishing reel having with a modular weight system for customizing the weight of the fly-fishing reel in order for an angler to use the fly-fishing reel with a variety of fly rods and still maintain a desired balance point and an integrated incremental meter device. The modular weight system allows the balance point of the rod and fly-fishing reel to be adjusted. The incremental metering device is adapted for keeping a tally of selected data, such as, though not limited to, the number of fish caught or released.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool shaft, a first elastic member, a first shaft bearing, a pinion gear, a pressing member, and a second elastic member. The first elastic member is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the spool shaft. The first shaft bearing includes an inner race that has an inner circumferential surface that contacts the first elastic member, and an outer race. The pressing member is pressed by the pinion gear in a first direction and approaches a first end when the pinion gear is in the decoupled position. The second elastic member is disposed between the pressing member and the outer race of the first shaft bearing, and the pressing member is pressed by the pinion gear when the pinion gear is in the decoupled position, thereby pressing the outer race of the first shaft bearing in the first direction.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool shaft, a rolling bearing, and an elastic element. The spool shaft is rotatable with respect to the reel body. The rolling bearing has an outer diameter of 8 mm or less and supports the spool shaft. The rolling bearing includes an outer ring having a holding groove in an outer peripheral surface thereof, an inner ring connected to the spool shaft so as to be integrally rotatable, and a rolling element disposed between the outer ring and the inner ring. The elastic element has an annular shape and is held in the holding groove. The holding groove is located in a position that does not overlap with the rolling element in a radial direction of the spool shaft. The outer ring has a minimum thickness that is 10% or more of the outer diameter of the rolling bearing.
