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 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.

The disclosure relates to a mobile crane, such as a crawler crane, comprising an undercarriage having a chassis, a superstructure rotatably supported on the undercarriage, and superstructure ballast, with the superstructure ballast comprising a ballast mounting apparatus vertically adjustable by means of a lifting device of the superstructure. In accordance with the disclosure, the ballast mounting apparatus is fastenable to the superstructure in an assembly position by means of a single connection element bearing the vertical load of the superstructure ballast. A centering means is furthermore provided that is adapted to take up transverse forces occurring in the assembly position.

A baitcaster for retrieving a fishing line includes a housing, a spool, and a compound gear set. The spool is positioned at least partially within the housing, defining an inner volume, and includes a spindle. The compound gear set is positioned at least partially within the inner volume of the spool. The compound gear set is configured to receive input mechanical energy from a first shaft and transfer output mechanical energy through a second shaft to drive the spool and thereby retrieve the fishing line.

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 fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure has an operation portion, and is configured, where the operation portion is manipulated, to operate a first function when the fishing reel is in a first state, and a second function when the fishing reel is in a second state.

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 reel includes a reel body, a handle shaft rotatably supported with respect to the reel body, a spool shaft movably supported in a front-rear direction with respect to the reel body, a reciprocator including a first gear configured to rotate in a first direction of rotation in conjunction with rotation of the handle shaft, a second gear including a gear body configured to mesh with the first gear and a first boss portion protruding from the gear body and configured to rotate in a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation, and a slider mounted on the spool shaft and including an engagement groove with which the first boss portion is configured to engage, and a limiter disposed between the reel body and the second gear and being configured to limit rotation of the second gear in the first direction of rotation.

A spool braking device of a fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body on which a fishing line at one end of which a lure is attached is wound so as to be unwound, a spool brake that is provided on the spool and the reel body and that brakes the spool, and a spool braking force controller connected to the spool brake and capable of controlling a braking force by the spool brake, wherein the spool braking force controller is configured to change the braking force by the spool brake based on a set value of the braking force corresponding to the lure information.

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.
