A heated fishing reel, a system for heating a fishing reel, and a heated handle assembly provide a means of warming the hands of a user. The heated fishing reel comprises a reel casing, a handle, a side plate, a power source disposed in the fishing reel to provide power for a heating element disposed within one of a reel casing of the fishing reel or a side plate of the fishing reel. The system for heating the fishing reel comprises a plurality of heating elements and a power source disposed in the fishing reel for providing power to the plurality of heating elements. The heated handle assembly comprises a rocker arm, a knob attached to a distal end of the rocker arm, a heating element disposed in the knob, and a power source mounted in the knob for heating the knob.

A fishing reel and related method include a housing, a spool, and a brake assembly. The housing includes an external circumferential surface and an internal circumferential surface. The spool is configured to have a length of fishing line wound thereon, and is rotatable relative to the housing about a rotation shaft. The brake assembly is mounted to and rotatable with the spool. The brake assembly includes a plurality of pivotally mounted pawls. The plurality of pawls each include a contact surface arranged facing the internal circumferential surface. Rotation of the fishing reel upon the fishing line being pulled out of the fishing reel when a fish pulls on the fishing line causes a centrifugal force that moves the contact surface of the plurality of pawls into contact with the internal circumferential surface to reduce a rotational speed of the spool relative to the housing.

A fly reel exclusively used for fly fishing is proposed. In the fly reel, a spool having a -shape (bobbin shape) to be able to wind a fishing line thereon is composed of two left and right body sections, the body sections are formed and manufactured using a carbon sheet material, a metallic spool cover having a ring frame shape is integrally coupled to the outer surface of the body section disposed opposite a reel body of the left and right body sections, and a reel body disposed on a first side of the spool and supporting rotation of the spool in cooperation with a shaft member is also divided into a main body covering the first side of the spool and a body cover having a ring frame shape and coupled to the outer surface of the main body.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing a center-pin housing-free reel with variable resistance braking and a casting pivot upon a transaxial plane are described herein. For example, according to one embodiment there is a fishing rod and reel system, including: a fishing rod; a fishing reel assembly; and in which the fishing reel assembly includes: a rotatable mount having a mount segment which is to affix the fishing reel assembly with a mount receiver of a fishing rod and a rotating segment, in which the rotating segment pivots upon an axis separate from the mount segment; a structural brace affixed to the rotating segment of the rotatable mount; a centerpin mount affixed to the structural brace at a first end of the centerpin; a reel mounted upon the centerpin and affixed to the centerpin via a fastener secured to a second end of the centerpin, in which the reel is to rotate upon the centerpin between the structural brace and the fastener; a variable resistance braking assembly affixed to the rotating segment of the rotatable mount, in which the variable resistance braking assembly is to pivot with the reel, in which the variable resistance braking assembly includes at least (i) a lever, (ii) a spring, and (iii) a resistance contact point oriented at a portion of the lever which makes physical contact with the reel; and in which the spring has a preload to pull the resistance contact point of the lever into the reel and further in which braking force of the variable resistance braking assembly is increased when the lever is pressed into the reel and decreased or negated when the variable resistance braking assembly is retracted from the reel. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

Present disclosed is a bait cast reel having a locking part for a hinge-type palm side cover, the palm side cover being hinged to a first side opening of a frame of a reel body to rotatably support one end of a spool shaft. The bait cast reel includes: a reel body in which a spool is rotatably provided; a palmside cover fixed to an outside end of a pillar insert; a spool cover mounted to the palmside cover; a centrifugal brake controls a rotation speed of the spool; a pillar click gear to which the pillar insert is coupled in a moveable manner; a pillar click claw stopping rotation of the pillar click gear; and a stopper supporting the pillar click gear for rotation thereof.

A fly-fishing reel having an integrated incremental meter device along 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. 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.
