A clutch control mechanism configured to allow or block a transmission of a rotation of a handle to a spool in response to either a rotating of the handle or an operating of a clutch operating member. The clutch control mechanism includes a clutch cam, a clutch plate, and a positioning structure. The clutch cam is rotatably mounted to the reel unit, and is rotatable between a first position and a second position. The first position blocks the transmission of the rotation of the handle. The second position allows the transmission of the rotation of the handle. The clutch plate is coupled to the clutch operating member and to the clutch cam, and is unitarily rotatable with the clutch cam. The positioning structure to position the clutch cam from outside in a radial direction about a rotational axis of the clutch cam when the clutch cam is disposed in the first position.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel unit, a spool shaft, a spool, and a brake device. The spool shaft is rotatably supported by the reel unit. The spool includes a bobbin trunk, a shaft mount and a coupling wall. The bobbin trunk includes an internal space. The shaft mount has a tubular shape, and is penetrated by the spool shaft. The coupling wall couples the bobbin trunk and the shaft mount. The brake device includes at least one magnet disposed in opposition to the coupling wall. The brake device brakes the spool by a magnetic force applied to the coupling wall from the at least one magnet.

A braking device of a double bearing reel that brakes a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body of a double bearing reel on which a fishing line may be wound, the braking device provided with a braked unit attached to the spool, a braking unit that applies a braking force to the braked unit, a motor capable of driving a part of the braked unit, a reduction mechanism that transmits drive of the motor to a part of the braked unit, and a power supply that supplies electric power to the motor, in which a reduction ratio r of the reduction mechanism satisfies Mmax/T<r<Mmax/C when energizing torque of the motor is set to T, holding torque of the motor is set to C, and maximum torque required to move the braked unit is set to Mmax.

A fishing reel includes a spool that winds a fishing line; an operation portion that rotates the spool; a clutch that switches from being power transmissible to power non-transmissible and vice versa between the operation portion and the spool; a rotation detector that detects the rotation of the spool; a casting preparation commencement detector that detects casting is ready; a casting completion detector that detects completion of casting; a history data generator that generates history data from when casting is ready to when the casting is completed; and a storage that stores the history data.

A dual-bearing reel being capable of regulating relative rotation between a drive gear that interlocks with a spool and a drive shaft includes a braking device, a ring, a drag adjustment part and a sound unit. The ring is configured to be integrally rotatable with the drive shaft, configured to be pressed toward the drive gear, and has a sound generating part disposed at an outer periphery thereof. The drag adjustment part is configured to adjust a pressing force of the braking device. The sound unit is mounted to the drive gear and extends toward the sound generating part, so as to contact the sound generating part in an axial direction of the drive gear, and is configured to generate sound by interfering with the sound generating part by relative rotation between the drive gear and the drive shaft.

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 forwardly releases a fishing line and includes a reel unit, a spool, a spool brake, an electric component, and a voltage booster circuit. The spool is rotatably supported by the reel unit. The spool brake generates an electric power upon a rotation of the spool, and applies a brake force to brake the spool using the electric power when the spool is rotated. The electric component operates using the electric power generated by the spool brake. The voltage booster circuit increases a voltage supplied to the electric component.
