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.

An improved and efficient ice-fishing tip-up spool having a generally cylindrical shape comprising an arbor configured within a first side wall and a second side wall, wherein the arbor has a diameter larger than conventional ice fishing tip-up spools. The larger arbor on the improved and efficient spool decreases the amount of fishing line required to have a full spool which can be achieved with less than 100 feet of fishing line. The large arbor spool also comprises a handle which is integrated onto the second wall and makes the spooling and re-spooling quicker in combination with the larger arbor as the fishing line spooled on per revolution is more than the fishing line spooled on per revolution by conventional ice fishing tip-up spools.

A reciprocating mechanism for a spinning reel includes a first gear, a second gear, a slider, and an annular elastic body. The first gear is configured to rotate in accordance with rotation of a handle shaft. The second gear includes a gear body configured to mesh with the first gear and a boss protruding from the gear body. The slider has an engagement groove where the boss engages. The slider is configured to move a spool shaft in a front-rear direction as the boss moves along the engagement groove. The annular elastic body is attached to the boss so as to contact an open end of the engagement groove.

A spinning fishing reel includes a housing, a line spool reciprocatingly moveable relative to the housing, a rotor rotatable relative to the line spool, a gear disc rotatably mounted inside the housing, and a handle assembly. The gear disc includes a shaft tube, and an internal thread portion and a stop portion both provided at an inner wall of the shaft tube. The handle assembly includes a handle and a drive shaft having a first end pivotally connected with the handle. The drive shaft has an external thread portion engaged with the internal thread portion of the gear disc in a way that the drive shaft is penetrated through an opening of the housing and inserted into the shaft tube of the gear disc, and a second end of the drive shaft is abutted against the stop portion of the gear disc.

A handle operation assist device includes a handle angular velocity measuring unit, an error calculator and a notification unit. The handle angular velocity measuring unit is configured to measure a handle angular velocity based on an output of a sensor configured to detect an angular velocity corresponding to rotation of a fishing reel handle. The error calculator is configured to calculate an error in the handle angular velocity with respect to a reference angular velocity. The notification unit is configured to carry out notification regarding the error.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a handle shaft, a handle, a first bearing, and a roller clutch. The handle shaft has a first end portion and a second end portion on a side opposite the first end portion, and is provided on the reel body so as to be rotatable. The handle is connected to the first end portion of the handle shaft. The first bearing rotatably supports the second end portion of the handle shaft. The roller clutch is arranged so as to overlap the first bearing in an axial direction of the handle shaft as seen from a radial direction of the handle shaft and is configured to prohibit rotation of the handle shaft in one direction.

A bottle-style reel for bow-fishing and the like provides a retriever bottle that is tipped out of the vertical plane defined by the crank axis and the rotation of interengaging wheels that grip the fishing line and push it into the retriever bottle. In this way the retriever mechanism of the interengaging wheels can be aligned with the bow grip for reduced torque and simplified mounting.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a handle shaft, a handle, a first bearing, and a roller clutch. The handle shaft has a first end portion and a second end portion on a side opposite the first end portion, and is provided on the reel body so as to be rotatable. The handle is connected to the first end portion of the handle shaft. The first bearing rotatably supports the second end portion of the handle shaft. The roller clutch is arranged so as to overlap the first bearing in an axial direction of the handle shaft as seen from a radial direction of the handle shaft and is configured to prohibit rotation of the handle shaft in one direction.

A reel body for a spinning reel includes a foot portion configured to attach to a fishing rod, a housing having a accommodating portion, a leg portion extending from the housing toward the foot portion, and an insert element disposed in the housing and the leg portion. The foot portion, the housing, and the leg portion are integrally formed by injection molding, and the insert element includes a first portion that is disposed in the accommodating portion such that at least a part thereof is exposed, and a second portion that is integrally formed with the first portion and at least a part of which is disposed in a proximal end part of the leg portion.

The reel stringer may comprise a spool retainer, one or more eyelets, a reel holder, a housing, and a line cutter. The reel stringer may be operable to hold a new line spool and a reel such that fishing line may be wound onto a reel spool from the new line spool by turning a crank handle on the reel. The reel may removably couple to the reel holder for stringing. The spool retainer may hold the new line spool such that the new line spool may rotate as the fishing line is used. The fishing line may feed from the new line spool, through the one or more eyelets, and onto the reel. A first storage section may be used to store spools of string and other supplies. An alternative embodiment may provide a second storage area.
