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.

Fishing reel system embodiments herein include an extendable arm assembly and a reel assembly rotatably attached thereto. Certain reel assembly embodiments include an adjustable drag washer stack that can be adjustably compressed to adjust the amount of friction within the washer stack. Other implementations include solely a reel assembly with such an adjustable drag washer stack.

A spinning reel includes a reel body, a rotor, a spool shaft, and a drive body. The drive body has a shaft, a first gear disposed on the shaft for rotating the rotor, and a second gear disposed on the shaft for moving the spool shaft. The shaft, the first gear, and the second gear are integrally formed by forging. The first gear includes a first disk part disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the shaft, and a first tooth part protruding axially from the first disk part. The second gear includes a second disk part disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the shaft to be spaced apart from the first disk part, and a second tooth part protruding from the second disk part radially away from an axis of the shaft. The second tooth part has a tip diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the first tooth part.

Fishing reel system embodiments herein include an extendable arm assembly and a reel assembly rotatably attached thereto. Certain reel assembly embodiments include an adjustable drag washer stack that can be adjustably compressed to adjust the amount of friction within the washer stack. Other implementations include solely a reel assembly with such an adjustable drag washer stack.

Provided is a fishing spinning reel including a fishing line guide that guides a fishing line to a spool, and the fishing line guide includes a line roller that guides the fishing line picked up by a bail to the spool, and a line slider that guides the fishing line from the bail to the line roller. The line slider includes an attachment part that the bail is integrally joined to or formed with, and a wall that separates a first depression from a second depression, the first depression accommodating at least a part of a head of an arm-lever fastening screw member when the arm-lever fastening screw member is attached, the second depression accommodating an end of the line roller and covering an outer periphery of the end with a minute gap provided, and the wall and the line slider are formed of a single member.

A retaining system for enclosing the free end of a line. The system has a retaining band with an inner side and an outer side. Coupled to the retaining band is a multiple length clasp. The inner side can have a clasp and the outer side can have a clasp. When the retaining band is wrapped around a spool, the retaining band couples with itself. In so doing, the retaining band keeps the free end of a line from undesirably unraveling.

A rotational friction brake actuated and regulated by the rate of change of the angular speed is disclosed. The rotational friction brake includes a first body and a second body rotationally attached to the first body. The second body is arranged to rotate around a rotational center axis of the second body. An actuator arrangement is configured to move a second friction surface into frictional engagement with a first friction surface. The actuator arrangement includes an actuator arm pivotably attached to the second body in a pivot point that is eccentrically offset to the rotational center axis. The actuator arrangement has a radius of gyration (RG) longer than a distance from the pivot point to the rotational center axis. The actuator arrangement has an internal flexibility which allows its shape to depend on centrifugal forces. A fishing reel comprising such a rotational friction brake is also disclosed.

A clamp device to clamp to a fishing pole and strip fishing line may include a first clamp member, a second clamp member to pivotably connect to the first clamp member, and a spool member to connect to the first clamp member and the second clamp member to the fishing rod and to rotate and to strip fishing line. The first clamp member may include a first clamp pivoting device. The second clamp member may include a second clamp pivoting device. The first clamp member may include a first clamp arm. The second clamp member may include a second clamp arm. The first clamp arm may include a first clamp slot.

Quick drop halyard line roller guides for removable attachment to existing outriggers to allow the user to quickly drop the halyard rigging lines from the outriggers. Quick release roller line guides are provided for removable attachment to the existing eyelet-type circular outrigger line guides. Quick and installation and removal of outrigger halyard lines permits the lines to be safely stored away from harsh environmental conditions when not use thereby extending line life.

A method for sequentially coiling a rope by segments, comprising the steps of attaching a first grab in a rope to the lower rim of a cylindrical mandrel; rotating the mandrel about a vertical axis and forming a plurality of coils including a last coil on the mandrel; stopping a rotation of the mandrel; releasing the first grab and the plurality of coils from the mandrel into a basket rotating under the mandrel. While releasing the first grab, holding a second or subsequent grab along a tail end of the last coil on the mandrel, and repeating the above steps of attaching; rotating; forming; stopping; releasing; holding and repeating, with the second or subsequent grab, until an entire length of the rope has been coiled in the basket. In another aspect, a step of working the rope is carried out between the step of stopping and the step of releasing.
