An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel configured to suppress formation of a dead space on the outer circumferential side of an anti-reverse device and thus reduced in size. The fishing reel includes a reel body, a drive shaft caused to rotate by an operation of a handle, an anti-reverse device interposed between the reel body and the drive shaft, and a cylinder-shaped cylindrical member disposed on an outer circumferential side of the anti-reverse device. A switching control member of the anti-reverse device and the cylindrical member are engaged with each other, and a swiveling operation of the cylindrical member causes the drive shaft to switch to an anti-reverse state or a reversible state.

Provided is a fishing reel equipped with a lock lever having a function to cover a protrusion of a frame. Specifically, by forming a protrusion at a lower portion of a front end of the frame, in particular, by forming a protrusion on which a worm shaft of level wind is installed, the appearance of the frame is maintained sharply to improve grip. In addition, the fishing reel enables convenient use of the lock lever while enhancing design aesthetics by covering the protrusion with the lock lever for detachably attaching a side cover. The fishing reel includes a frame having a spool mount and a palm sidewall, a palm-side cover detachably attached to the palm sidewall, and a lock lever interposed between the palm sidewall and the palm side cover and configured to lock or unlock the palm side cover.

A coiled wave spring includes a first and second coiled portions. The first coiled portion has a plurality of first valley parts and a plurality of first peak parts. The first valley parts and the first peak parts are alternately disposed in a circumferential direction. The second coiled portion has a plurality of second peak parts and a plurality of second valley parts. The second peak parts respectively correspond to the first valley parts, whereas the second valley parts respectively correspond to the first peak parts. The second coiled portion extends continuously from the first coiled portion. The first peak parts are disposed away from the corresponding second valley parts at an interval in an axial direction. The first valley parts contact the corresponding second peak parts. Apices of the first valley parts are shifted from apices of the corresponding second peak parts in the circumferential direction.

A fishing reel is provided. The fishing reel includes one or more sensors that can obtain a rotation frequency of a spool of the fishing reel during a casting. The casting corresponds to a casting mode of a plurality of casting modes. The fishing reel also includes a computing device. The computing device can determine a braking force corresponding to the rotation frequency and the casting mode, based on data of a plurality of braking forces. The data of the plurality of braking forces are pre-determined and stored in a memory of the fishing reel. The computing device can apply the braking force to the spool.

Provided is a fishing reel equipped with a hidden line stopper. The fishing reel includes: a frame; a shaft mounted on the frame; a spool fitted on the shaft to keep a fishing line wound thereon; a first side cover disposed at a side of the frame and capable of opening to separate the spool; a second side cover coupled to the frame at the opposite side to the first side cover; a locker having a locking rod for locking and unlocking by moving forward and backward through the frame and the first side cover, and a grip disposed at the first or second side cover and connected to the locking rod; and a line stopper formed at the locking rod to be hidden or exposed when the locking rod is moved forward and backward to open and close the first side cover.

A hand-held fishing reel drag set device includes a strain gauge configured to convert applied strain to a voltage output, a microprocessor configured to receive strain gauge voltage output and convert it to a calibrated digital value, a display configured to present real-time visual feedback of the calibrated digital value to the user based on the measured strain, a menu-driven user interface enabling user selection of operational parameters, a self-contained power source enabling portable operation, and a real-time, color-coded feedback system visually indicating whether the applied strain is below, within, or above a preset threshold to aid a fisherman in achieving a desired drag setting before attempting to catch a fish.
