A fishing rod assembly includes a rod and a reel assembly. The reel assembly includes a housing and a spool positioned within the housing and configured to (a) rotate about an axis to retrieve or let out a fishing line and (b) translate along the axis to adjust a drag, the spool including an inner volume. The reel assembly further includes a spindle disposed within the inner volume of the spool and having a first end and a second end, the first end of the spindle engaged with the spool, a drive mechanism configured to receive an input torque from a user and provide an output torque to the spool, and a lever assembly configured to receive a user input and translate the spool along the axis towards a second end of the reel to adjust the drag.

A reel system includes a fishing reel including a spool, an electrical module, and a multi-gear system. The electrical module is coupled to the fishing reel. The electrical module includes a motor configured to turn the spool. A first position in the multi-gear system is configured to turn the spool via the motor.

I provide a braking device attachable to a body frame having one bearing member that pivotally supports a spool and an operation means for rotating the spool, including another bearing member that pivotally supports the spool; a spool brake; a control board that controls the braking force of the spool brake; a battery that supplies power to the control board; and a cover member that covers the battery and the board.

A support structure for a fishing reel includes a first portion, a second portion, a first shaft bearing and a second shaft bearing arranged side by side in the axial direction along an axis between the outer circumferential surface of the first portion and the inner circumferential surface of the second portion, a spacer disposed between an inner race of the first shaft bearing and an inner race of the second shaft bearing, and a regulating member configured to restrict movement an outer race of the first shaft bearing or an outer race of the second shaft bearing, in a direction in which one of the outer race of the first shaft bearing or the outer race of the second shaft bearing is separated from the other of the outer race of the first shaft bearing or the outer race of the second shaft bearing.

A fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to include a spool capable of winding a fishing line, an operation portion that rotates the spool, a rotation detector that detects the rotation of the spool, and a determination portion that determines the backlash correction status from the output of the rotation detector.

A fishing reel includes a spool capable of winding a fishing line, a detector capable of detecting the rotation amount of the spool, a storage that records the rotation amount of the spool as a detection result, and a transmitter that transmits the detection result to the outside, and is configured to select the casting mode when the detection result of the rotation amount of the spool is equal to or greater than a first threshold, and to select the drop mode when the detection result of the rotation amount of the spool is less than the first threshold.
