A reel for fishing line or the like provides for extremely rapid payout by releasing the line to unwind by sliding rapidly around a guide surrounding the line spool and by rotation of the line spool itself. A handle extending rearwardly from the reel controls a line guide preventing sliding of the fishing line around the guide and providing controllable friction and locking of rotation of the line spool only when actuated by the user to permit retraction of the line or controlled tensioning of the line.

A brake mechanism of a fishing reel is provided, which includes a washer set, an operation member, a tubular member and a brake adjusting device. The fishing reel includes a shaft. The washer set includes a first driving washer and a first brake washer sleeved to the shaft. The operation member is coupled with the first driving washer, rotatable together, extended through the washer set, located between the shaft and washer set, and abutted against the washer set. The tubular member is axially movably disposed at the shaft and abutted against the operation member. The brake adjusting device is sleeved to the shaft and abutted against the tubular member and includes a control member screwingly engaged to a thread section of the shaft. Accordingly, the shaft would not be damaged by the washer set, and a brake status being released smoothly can be ensured.

The invention provides an electric fishing gear comprising a fishing reel, a handle, a motor and a motor speed control, the fishing reel can be removed to connect the handle, the fishing reel provides the lead power of the line by the motor, the motor speed control is used to adjust the speed of the motor in real time, to adjust the receiving speed of the fishing reel, the handle is set to provide electric power for the motor power device.

A dual-bearing reel according to the present disclosure enables a rotatably supported spool between a left and a right side panel of a reel body to be rotated with a handle provided at one of the side panels and includes a movement restraining portion that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of a counter handle-side one of the side panels of the reel body, and that prevents a pressing thumb of a hand from moving outward from the counter handle-side one of the side panels.

Fishing reel system embodiments herein include an extendable arm assembly and a reel assembly rotatably attached thereto. Certain reel assembly embodiments include an adjustable drag washer stack that can be adjustably compressed to adjust the amount of friction within the washer stack. Other implementations include solely a reel assembly with such an adjustable drag washer stack.

A fishing rod assembly includes a rod and a reel assembly. The reel assembly includes a housing, a spool positioned within the housing, the spool configured to rotate about a central axis to retrieve or let out fishing line, and a gear set configured to drive the spool to rotate about the central axis, the gear set includes a first set of gears and a second set of gears. The gear set is configured to receive input rotational kinetic energy through the second set of gears and output rotational kinetic energy to the spool through the first set of gears. The first set of gears includes a planetary gear set arranged about the central axis, and the second set of gears is arranged about an offset axis that is spaced from the central axis.

A dual bearing reel includes a spool having a bobbin trunk and first and second flanges, a spool shaft including a first supported portion on a first flange side and a second supported portion on a second flange side, and the spool shaft configured to integrally rotate with the spool, a reel body including a first body portion rotatably supporting the first supported portion and a second body portion rotatably supporting the second supported portion; a level-wind mechanism to move a fishing line guide along an axial direction of the spool shaft in reciprocating fashion in conjunction with the rotation of the spool, a first braking unit disposed in the first body portion facing the first flange and configured to brake the rotation of the spool, and a rotation transmission mechanism in the second body portion and configured to transmit the rotation of the spool to the level-wind mechanism.
