A fishing reel includes a spool supported between side plates of a reel body through a spool shaft; and a clutch mechanism that switches between a power transmission state that winds a fishing line and a power cutoff state capable of unwinding a fishing line by moving a pinion gear of a winding drive mechanism in an axial direction of the spool shaft by operating the switching operation member provided on the reel body to engage and disengage clutch engagement portions of the spool shaft and the pinion gear, wherein, provided between the bearing that supports the spool shaft and the clutch engagement portion on the spool shaft side are: a first elastic portion applying an elastic force to an end of the pinion gear in the power transmission state; and a second elastic portion constantly energizing a side of the bearing in the axial direction of the spool shaft.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool rotatable relative to the reel body, a spool shaft integrally rotatable with the spool, a one-way clutch and an operating lever. The one-way clutch includes an outer ring rotatable relative to the reel body and a rolling body configured to transmit rotation of the spool shaft in a casting direction to the outer ring. The one-way clutch is attached to the spool shaft. The operating lever has a flat shape, is attached to the reel body, and extends in a radial direction. The operating lever is configured to adjust a braking force that brakes the rotation of the outer ring.

[Problem] To provide a fishing reel including a controller capable of maintaining a low power consumption state based on the rotation state of a spool and the state of a clutch. [Solution] A fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a spool, a power supply, a controller, a clutch, and a clutch state detector, wherein the controller is configured to switch between a first state of high power consumption and a second state of lower power consumption than the first state, and to switch from the second state to the first state when the clutch detector detects the off-state of the clutch.

A fishing reel, including a frame; a reel seat disposed in the frame and including a central through hole; a spool disposed on the reel seat; a main shaft slidably disposed in the central through hole, and including a first end and a second end; a roller disposed on the first end of the main shaft; a first gear and a second gear both disposed on the second end of the main shaft; a handle disposed on the frame and connected to the first gear; a release button disposed on the frame; a first pressure spring disposed between the second gear and the main shaft; a line guide seat disposed on the roller; a line hanging rod disposed on the line guide seat; an elastic member disposed between the line guide seat and the roller; and a cam unit disposed on one end of the reel seat.

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°.

A fishing spinning reel that eliminates problems associated with line twist by providing a rotor adapted for both forward and reverse rotation wherein a drag assembly applies drag to the rotor using an adjustable cam mechanism to prevent the rotor from imparting twist on the line when in the winding mode. By enabling the rotor to rotate in a reverse direction with the application of drag the present invention prevents line twist when fighting a fish by allowing the rotor to rotate in a reverse direction to let out line and/or to remain stationary as the handle is cranked thereby preventing the rotor from imparting twist on the line.

A magnetic levitation spool assembly for a tip-up device, the assembly providing the following: a shaft extending between a spool end and a trip mechanism end; a board engager disposed along the shaft between the spool end and the trip mechanism end; a first pair of magnetized objects between the spool end and the board engager; and a second pair of magnetized objects between the trip mechanism end and the board engager, wherein the first and second pair of magnetized objects magnetically repel each other to produce a gap between each pair of magnetized objects and the board engager.

The present invention relates in general to the field of rod-and-reel fishing, and more specifically, to a cartridge for holding new fishing line while at the same time providing a convenient storage mechanism for retrieving, holding and disposing of old, worn-out fishing line. One aspect of the replacement fishing line cartridge includes an outer spooling portion and an inner spooling portion. The inner spooling portion may be detachably snapped, slid or locked into the outer spooling portion. The outer spooling portion may be configured to hold new fishing line. The inner spooling portion may be configured to hold old fishing line, wherein the inner spooling portion fits inside the outer spooling portion to prevent the old fishing line from detangling. In this manner, the replacement fishing line cartridge may be used to conveniently dispose of and/or recycle old fishing line in a compact manner. The purpose of the invention is to provide a replacement fishing line cartridge and method of replacing fishing line that is convenient, disposable and environmentally friendly.

A fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to include a spool capable of winding a fishing line, an operation portion that rotates the spool, a rotation detector that detects the rotation of the spool, and a determination portion that determines the backlash correction status from the output of the rotation detector.

A double bearing reel includes a spool braking device that rotatably supports a spool including a bobbin body on which a fishing line is wound and flange portions formed on both sides of the bobbin body between side plates of a reel body and that applies a braking force to the rotation of the spool, wherein the spool braking device includes a conductive annular body that rotates integrally with the spool and a magnet facing outer peripheral surface of the conductive annular body, and the conductive annular body and the magnet are disposed axially inward of an outer end surface of the flange portions and radially inward of the bobbin body.
