Disclosed is a fishing reel with a rocker arm assembly which can be assembled or disassembled single-handedly, comprising a fishing reel main body, a main body cover, a winding reel, a transmission device and a rotor. The transmission device comprises a gear plate and a rocker arm assembly, wherein the rocker arm assembly is inserted into a centre shaft hole connecting the gear plate. The rocker arm assembly comprises a rocker arm hexagon core, a rocker arm sleeve, a rocker arm and a handle, wherein the rocker arm hexagon core is inserted into and connects the rocker arm sleeve, the rocker arm sleeve is connected to one end of the rocker arm, and the other end of the rocker arm is movably connected to the handle. The fishing reel thus has a rocker arm assembly which is flexibly combined, and can be assembled and disassembled single-handedly.

A gear mechanism for a fishing reel includes a drive gear, a handle, and a vibration damper. The drive gear includes a gear having a prescribed gear diameter, and a drive gear shaft rotated together with the gear and having a smaller dimension than the prescribed gear diameter. The handle rotates the drive gear shaft. The vibration damper is disposed between the drive gear shaft and the handle, and dampens the transmission of the vibration of the drive gear.

One object is to provide a double bearing reel that provides a comfortable grip feeling in fishing and prevents the cover plates from making a malfunction. A double bearing reel of the present invention includes: a reel body including left and right side plates, each of the left and right side plates including a frame and a cover plate; a spool rotatably supported between the left and right side plates; a handle provided on one of the left and right side plates and configured to rotationally drive the spool; and an opening/closing mechanism configured to enable the cover plate on an opposite side to the handle to be opened and closed on the associated frame. An opening is formed in a side surface of the cover plate on the opposite side to the handle, and an operation member of the opening/closing mechanism is disposed within the opening.

There is provided a reel comprising a bearing in which the inward surfaces of the outer ring and inner ring of the bearing are covered with a liquid water-repellent agent having lubricity, and further the exposed surfaces of the outer ring and the inner ring are also covered with the water-repellent agent or another water-repelling material.

Spinning reels for left or right-handed use have reduced internal friction by a selectively disengageable seal at the unused connection port.

A preset knob is provided that is not subject to rotation during normal operation of a drag lever used in association with fishing reels having adjustable drag settings. In order to rotate the preset knob in order to adjust its drag settings, it first must be pulled outwardly. As such, when the reel is in use, the preset knob cannot be accidently adjusted by an angler operating the drag lever.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel unit, a handle, a spool, and a spool brake. The handle is rotatably mounted to the reel unit. The spool is in the reel unit, and rotates in conjunction with a rotation of the handle. The spool includes a bobbin trunk, a first flange, and a second flange. The first flange is on a first end of the bobbin trunk, and the second flange is on a second end of the bobbin trunk. The bobbin trunk includes a bored tubular part and a non-bored tubular part. The bored tubular part includes at least one hole, and the non-bored tubular part is integrated with the bored tubular part. The spool brake is in the reel unit, and can apply a braking force to the spool by applying a magnetic force to at least the non-bored tubular part.

According to the present disclosure, in a fishing reel that comprises component members of various types arranged in a reel body, winds up a fishing line around a spool, and releases the fishing line that has been wound up around the spool, the component members are arranged in a contact state or a proximity state, the component members comprising different types of materials that are different in a raw material, and a corrosion member is attachably/detachably arranged on the component members in a conductive state, the corrosion member having a potential difference that is greater than the potential difference between the component members comprising the different types of materials.
