A fishing reel having easily selectable gears is disclosed. A gear assembly is disposed on the side of the reel opposite the crank handle, which has a gear ratio selector knob to easily and quickly change gear ratios to thereby change retrieval speeds.

A fishing apparatus and a method for controlling the same. The fishing apparatus includes: a fishing rod having a reel and a motor connected with the reel; a brainwave collection unit arranged to collect a brainwave signal from a user of the fishing apparatus; and a control unit arranged to receive the brainwave signal collected by the brainwave collection unit. The apparatus generates a motor control signal according to the brainwave signal and transmits the motor control signal to the motor. The motor drives the reel to rotate under the control of the motor control signal. The fishing apparatus and the method for controlling the same as provided by the present disclosure are easy to use and labor-saving.

A one hand spinning reel system includes a fixed spool and a bail coupled to a trigger switch for opening and optionally closing the bail, and a solid spindle coupled to a motor that is controlled by a motor switch. When the one hand spinning reel system is affixed to a fishing rod, the trigger switch and the motor switch can be operated, and the fishing line can be controlled, using the same hand used to hold the fishing rod and to cast the fishing line.

A spinning reel includes a variable gear ratio device provided between a handle and a line guiding rotor. The variable gear ratio device includes outer and inner worm wheels rotatably sleeved on a rotary shaft. The outer worm wheel has a ring of outer gear teeth meshing with a worm. The inner worm wheel is nested in the outer worm wheel and has a ring of inner gear teeth surrounded by the outer gear teeth and meshing with the worm. An adjusting unit enables rotation of the rotary shaft to be transmitted to the worm via a selected one of the outer and inner worm wheels and enables idle rotation of the other one of the outer and inner worm wheels relative to the rotary shaft.

A spinning reel includes a reel body, a main shaft, a crank for driving the main shaft to rotate, a tubular worm, a rotor coupled to the tubular worm to rotate therewith, and a speed shift device. The speed shift device includes a shell body configured to rotate with the main shaft, larger-dimension and smaller-dimension output wheels each meshing with the tubular worm, first and second tubular members, and a shifting unit. The shifting unit is configured to transmit rotational force of the shell body to one of the larger-dimension and smaller-dimension output wheels through a corresponding one of the first and second tubular members for driving the tubular worm.
