A sound generating mechanism for a spinning reel that generates sound by rotation of a spool relative to a spool shaft includes a first member, a second member, a pin member, a coil spring and a metal holding member. The first member is integrally rotatable with the spool, and has a plurality of concavo-convex portions arranged at intervals in a direction of rotation of the spool. The second member is rotationally fixed with respect to the spool shaft. The pin member is disposed to be capable of contacting the concavo-convex portions. The coil spring is configured to bias the pin member toward the concavo-convex portions. The metal holding member is attached to the second member and holding the coil spring.

A handle assembly of a spinning reel is configured to be integrally rotatable with a drive shaft of the spinning reel. The handle assembly includes a shaft member, a handle arm, a tubular member, and an annular elastic member. The shaft member is configured to be integrally rotatable with the drive shaft. The handle arm is coupled to the shaft member. The tubular member is disposed between the drive shaft and the handle arm on the outer periphery of the shaft member in order to position the handle arm with respect to the drive shaft. The annular elastic member is disposed between the shaft member and the tubular member in order to regulate the tubular member from falling off the shaft member.

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 dual-bearing reel for casting a fishing line in a forward direction includes a first side plate on a first side, a second side plate on a second side, a rod mounting portion, a front cover and a handle. The second side plate is apart from the first side plate in a lateral direction so as to form a space therebetween. The rod mounting portion is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate. The front cover has a distal end portion, and covers the space between the first side plate and the second side plate from a front. The handle disposed on the first side. The center of the distal end portion of the front cover in the lateral direction is positioned toward the first side relative to a center of the rod mounting portion in the lateral direction.

A baitcaster includes a body, a spool, a handle, and a drive. The body defines a proximate end and a distal end opposite the proximate end. The spool extends between the proximate end and the distal end. The handle extends from the proximate end and is configured to receive an input torque. The drive is configured to receive the input torque from the handle at the proximate end and drive the spool through a coupling at the distal end.

A spool of a dual-bearing reel includes a bobbin trunk, first and second flange portions and cylindrical portions. The first flange portion extends outwardly from the first end of the bobbin trunk and the second flange portion extends outwardly from the second end of the bobbin trunk. The first and second flanges do not have through-holes penetrating therethrough in an axial direction. The cylindrical portions extend outwardly from distal end portions of the flange portions. The first and second flange portions have a first tapered portion and a second tapered portion, respectively, each of the first and tapered portions becoming thinner in a radially outward direction. An average width between the first and tapered portions is less than or equal to 60% of an outer diameter of the cylindrical portion.

A fishing reel includes a reel body, a drive shaft, a handle, a one-way clutch, and a seal mechanism. The drive shaft is rotatably supported by the reel body. The handle includes a handle arm extending in a direction intersecting the drive shaft, and a handle-side accommodating part in which the drive shaft is partially accommodated. The one-way clutch is disposed in the handle-side accommodating part and transmits only rotation of the handle in the fishing line winding direction to the drive shaft. The seal mechanism prevents water from entering the handle-side accommodating part from the outside.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool shaft, a pinion gear, a collar member, a bearing, and a sealing member. The reel body includes a bearing housing. The pinion gear is rotatable about the spool shaft. The collar member is mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the pinion gear. The collar member has a large-diameter portion disposed adjacent to a tooth portion of the pinion gear in a shaft direction, and a small-diameter portion having a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the large-diameter portion. The bearing is housed in the bearing housing and rotatably supports the pinion gear using the collar member. The sealing member is an annular member disposed in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the bearing housing and the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter portion of the collar member.

A fishing reel includes a support member, a supported member, and a seal member. The support member includes a support hole. The supported member includes a supported portion that is disposed inside the support hole, and an inclined portion that is disposed outside the support hole and is formed so that an outer diameter decreases toward the support hole. The seal member is elastically deformable. The seal member is disposed in contact with an end face around the support hole and an outer peripheral surface of the inclined portion.

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.
