A dual-bearing reel comprises a reel main body, a spool, a spool shaft, an adjusting member, and an operation lever. The adjusting member is attached to the reel main body. The adjusting member adjusts a braking force with which a rotation of the spool shaft is braked. The operation lever is attached to the adjusting member such that the operation lever extends in a radial direction.

A reel braking adjustment device includes a tensile force-related information acquisition unit and a braking parameter correction unit. The tensile force-related information acquisition unit is configured to acquire tensile force-related information. The tensile force-related information is information that is related to tensile force acting on a fishing line and detected during a fishing line discharge period in which the fishing line is released from a dual-bearing reel configured to brake rotation of a spool based on a braking parameter. The braking parameter correction unit is configured to correct braking parameters based on temporal changes in the tensile force-related information acquired by the tensile force-related information acquisition unit.

A fishing rod assembly includes a rod and a reel assembly. The reel assembly includes a housing, a spool positioned within the housing, the spool configured to rotate about a central axis to retrieve or let out fishing line, and a gear set configured to drive the spool to rotate about the central axis, the gear set includes a first set of gears and a second set of gears. The gear set is configured to receive input rotational kinetic energy through the second set of gears and output rotational kinetic energy to the spool through the first set of gears. The first set of gears includes a planetary gear set arranged about the central axis, and the second set of gears is arranged about an offset axis that is spaced from the central axis.

A casting evaluation device includes a frequency derivator and a casting evaluator. Thee frequency derivator derives a frequency of sound or vibration based on an output of a sensor that detects the vibration or the sound that accompanies the release of a fishing line from a spool of a fishing reel. The casting evaluator evaluates prescribed evaluation items related to casting based on the frequency derived by the frequency derivator.

A torque limiting device includes a first rotating member, a second rotating member, an engagement member, and a biasing member. The biasing member biases the engagement member from a first rotating member toward a second rotating member. The biasing member biases the engagement member in a direction inclined relative to a radial direction of the first rotating member.

Provided is a fishing reel having a hidden lock lever for a palm-side first side cover. The fishing reel has a hidden lock lever for a palm-side first side cover in which an operating portion of the lock lever protrudes out of the first side cover when the first side cover is unlocked so that a user can immediately know that the first side cover is unlocked when holding the fishing reel, and the operating portion of the lock lever is hidden inside the first side cover so that a user can fish with the fishing reel in his/her hands without inconvenience.

A fly-fishing reel comprised of a spool assembly, frame assembly, and drag knob assembly, wherein the drag knob assembly may be removed without the use of tools in order to access the drag components and is attached without the use of fasteners. Drag components are contained between the frame and drag knob assemblies and are accessed by removing the drag knob assembly via a channel locking system. Accessing the drag components allows the user to switch the direction of retrieve and allows a secondary means of altering the range and characteristics of the drag settings. The drag system is sealed via two points on each open end of the drag housing portion of the frame, allowing for minimal maintenance and increased reliability of the drag system.

A dual-bearing reel is disclosed. The dual-bearing reel is configured to release a fishing line forward and includes a reel body, a clutch operating member, a clutch plate, and a fixing member. The clutch operating member is supported on the reel body movably in the up-down direction. The clutch plate is rotatably supported by the reel body and includes an extending portion extending in the axial direction and fixed to the clutch operating member to be integrally movable therewith, and a through hole in the extending portion. The fixing member fixes the clutch operating member to the extending portion via the through hole of the clutch plate. The through hole has a clearance with respect to the fixing member in the axial direction.

Provided is a fishing reel spool that has a line knot hider. The spool for a fishing reel includes a knot hider for hiding a knot of a fishing line inside the surface of a winding part such that a line is uniformly wound on the winding section without a knot exposed outside the surface of the winding section, thereby not interfering with thumbing in casting and enabling even a beginner to easily connect and use a fishing line without connecting a fishing line to a spool using a complicated knotting manner. The spool for a fishing ring includes a drum-shaped winding part mounted on a reel body by a shaft and configured to wind a fishing line on an outer surface thereof, and a knot hider configured to hide a knot of the fishing line inside a surface of the winding part.

Provided is a fishing reel provided with a bushing for anti-electrochemical corrosion. The fishing reel includes: a spool shaft coupled by passing through a spool and having opposite ends axially mounted on a frame; a pinion coupled by being inserted along an outer side of a shaft portion of one side of the spool shaft, thereby controlling on/off rotation of the spool shaft by moving back and forth in a longitudinal direction of the shaft; a bushing made of an insulating material fitted over and coupled with an outer peripheral surface of a body portion of the pinion; and support members supporting the outer peripheral surface of the bushing.
