A compensatory magnetic brake structure includes a line reel rotatably, a fixed magnet fixedly provided on a side of the line reel, a moving magnet rotatably provided on a side of the fixed magnet, an adjusting assembly for driving the moving magnet to rotate in order to adjust the corresponding range of a magnetic pole between the moving magnet and the fixed magnet, at least one set of magnetic piece movably provided between the moving magnet and the fixed magnet, and a centrifugal assembly automatically adjusting the distance between the magnetic piece and the axis of the line reel according to the speed of the line reel. The disclosure provides a compensatory magnetic brake structure with good brake stability and automatically compensatory brake function.

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.

The present invention relates generally to the field of fishing drag scales. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fishing reel drag set device that is comprised of a body, an upper and lower housing, two eyelets and a power supply. The device may be adjustable or non-adjustable (i.e., static), wherein the adjustable version allots the user multiple tension settings for the line and the static version has only one tension setting. Other visual and audible elements such as colored LEDs, a speaker relay and visual and audio indicators are provided to help identify if the drag in the fishing line is too heavy or too light. Accordingly, the device can be applied to any fishing rod and fishing line to aid a fisherman in using a desired drag setting when attempting to catch a fish.

A spinning reel includes a rotor rotatable around an axis of a spool shaft, a handle shaft, a drive shaft rotatable around an axis of the handle shaft, a rotational transmission mechanism configured to transmit the rotation of the drive shaft to a rotor, a rotational control mechanism disposed between the handle shaft and the drive shaft and only transmitting rotation of the handle shaft in a reeling direction to the drive shaft and not transmitting rotation of the rotor in a casting direction from the drive shaft to the handle shaft, and a brake arranged to be in contact with the handle shaft and integrally rotatable with the drive shaft and configured to apply a braking force to the rotation of the handle.

Provided are a spool braking device and a fishing reel equipped with the spool braking device. In the spool braking device, a magnet holder with a magnet moves toward an axial direction of a spool using eddy current and thus controls a rotational speed of the spool through a varying magnetic force acting on a braking plate of the spool. The spool braking device is capable of preventing a decrease in a distance a lure travels during casting when the spool is rotated at a low speed and preventing a backlash phenomenon through a braking operation suitable for high-speed rotation of the spool.

A dual-bearing reel according to the present disclosure enables a rotatably supported spool between a left and a right side panel of a reel body to be rotated with a handle provided at one of the side panels and includes a movement restraining portion that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of a counter handle-side one of the side panels of the reel body, and that prevents a pressing thumb of a hand from moving outward from the counter handle-side one of the side panels.

The present disclosure disclosed a magnetic braking mechanism which includes a spool, a magnet assembly arranged on a side of the spool for generating magnetic induction lines, and a magnetic braking assembly connected to the spool and including at least two metal plates and a centrifugal adjusting assembly. The metal plates are disposed between the magnet assembly and the spool, and the centrifugal adjusting assembly is used for automatically adjusting spacing between the metal plates and an axis of the spool according to a rotation speed of the spool, so as to adjust range of the magnetic induction lines cut by the metal plates, thereby automatically adjusting magnitude of a braking force. Further disclosed are a baitcast reel and a fishing tool.

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°.
