Provided is a fishing reel having a magnet disposed in a circumferential direction crossing the axial direction of a spool and, more particularly, a fishing reel that can increase a braking force control range even without an increase in size and can maximize a casting distance by preventing backlash and preventing reduction of a casting distance due to a braking force by using a magnet brake. The fishing reel includes a spool having a drum on which a fishing line is wound, and a magnet brake including a holder disposed on a side of the spool and a magnet mounted on the holder in a circumferential direction crossing an axial direction of the spool to have inner and outer facing surfaces and generating a braking force to the spool.

A rotor brake mechanism includes a braking member, a moving member, an elastic member, and an adjustment member. The braking member is disposed in a reel body. The moving member is disposed in a rotor to move to a first position corresponding to a line-winding posture and a second position corresponding to a line-releasing posture, in conjunction with a bail arm, and includes an extended portion that extends toward the braking member when the moving member moves to the second position. The elastic member is disposed on the extended portion of the moving member, and comes into contact with an outer peripheral surface of the braking member when the moving member moves to the second position. The adjustment member is disposed between the extended portion of the moving member and the elastic member, and adjusts a position of the elastic member.

The spool brake device is equipped with a brake unit, a detector, and a controller. The controller controls the braking force by the brake unit based on the rotational speed of the spool detected by the detector. When the rotational speed is less than the predetermined rotational speed, the controller controls the braking force by the brake unit in the regular braking mode. In the regular braking mode, the controller changes the braking force by the brake unit according to the rotational speed. On the other hand, when the rotational speed is equal to or higher than the predetermined rotational speed, the controller controls the braking force by the brake unit in the emergency braking mode, during the period of predetermined time. In the emergency braking mode, the controller makes the braking force by the brake unit larger than the braking force in the regular braking mode.

A drag adjustment assembly includes a lever arm unit, a nut, a first keyed structure, a second keyed structure and a spring. The lever arm unit forms a housing and includes at least one keyway. The nut, first keyed structure and second keyed structure are positioned in the housing. The first keyed structure and second keyed structure each include at least one key which engages the at least one keyway. The inner surface of the nut is threaded, and an outer surface of the first keyed structure has a corresponding thread. The spring is positioned between the first and second keyed structures.

A dual-bearing reel for fishing includes a drag disc non-rotatably mounted on a spool; a pinion gear collar disposed on the handle side of the drag disc and immovable in a spool shaft direction; a drag receiver disposed on the side opposite the handle and movable in the spool shaft direction in conjunction with a spool shaft; a biasing member configured to bias the drag disc and the drag receiver in a direction that separates them; a drag lever movable between a clamping position and a separation position; and a movement mechanism configured to move the spool shaft to the side opposite the handle such that the drag disc, the pinion gear collar, and the drag receiver are separated from each other, and configured to move the spool shaft to the handle side such that the pinion gear collar and the drag receiver clamp the drag disc.

A drag lever is configured to adjust a braking force of a drag mechanism configured to brake rotation of a spool, the drag lever including a mounting portion rotatably mounted on a reel body, an operation portion extending from the mounting portion in a radial direction of a pivot shaft and configured to swing in a first operation range, and an operation range adjustment member provided to the operation portion and configured to adjust the first operation range of the operation portion to a second operation range. This arrangement may suppress entanglement of a fishing line during fishing and adjusts the operation range of the drag lever.

A fishing reel capable of casting a fishing line in a forward direction includes a reel body, a rotor, a one-way clutch and a case member. The rotor is rotatable relative to the reel body about an axis of rotation and has an internal space. The one-way clutch is configured to transmit power in only one direction. The case member is disposed in the internal space of the rotor and houses the one-way clutch, and has a flange portion projecting in a radially outward direction and a fixing portion disposed behind the flange portion in a position overlapping a part of the flange portion, as viewed from an axial direction, and being fixed to the reel body.

A baitcaster includes a housing, a spool, a drivetrain, a bearing housing, and an input shaft. The housing defines a first member and a second member. The spool is positioned between the first member and the second member. The spool is configured to rotate in a first direction and a second direction. The drivetrain is positioned proximate the first member and is configured to rotate the spool in the first direction and the second direction. The bearing housing is positioned between the spool and the drivetrain. The input shaft is disposed along at least a midpoint of the baitcaster. The input shaft is configured to coaxially align the spool, drivetrain, and bearing housing. An axial force is generated between the spool and the drivetrain. The axial force is distributed through at least a portion of the bearing housing to prohibit the axial force from transferring into the drivetrain.
