Abstract: A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool and a waterproof member. The reel body includes a first side plate and a second side plate. The spool includes a bobbin trunk and a first flange. The bobbin trunk is rotatably disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate. The first flange is provided on a first side plate-side end of the bobbin trunk and has a larger diameter than the bobbin trunk. The waterproof member has an annular shape and is disposed in a first side plate-side position in the reel body. Additionally, the first flange includes a rib having an annular shape. The rib extends axially outward from the first flange and has a smaller diameter than an outermost diameter part of the first flange. The waterproof member is disposed in adjacent opposition to an inner peripheral surface of the rib of the first flange.

Abstract: The waterproof structure includes a reel body, a spool, a first abutting member, and a second abutting member. The first abutting member includes a first body portion and at least one first annular protrusion. The first body portion abuts with the reel body. The first annular protrusion protrudes from the first body portion. The second abutting member includes a second body portion and at least one second annular protrusion. The second body portion abuts with the spool and is adjacently disposed at a predetermined first waterproof gap from the first annular protrusion. The second annular protrusion protrudes from the second body portion and is adjacently disposed at a predetermined second gap from the first body portion. The first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion are adjacently disposed with a predetermined second waterproof gap therebetween.

Abstract: A dual-bearing reel includes a reel unit, a spool, and a guide member. The reel unit includes a first reel body and a second reel body. The spool is disposed between the first reel body and the second reel body. The guide member is attached to the reel unit and restricts a moving range of a fishing line forwardly released from the spool. Additionally, the guide member overlaps with the first reel body and the second reel body. The guide member makes contact with the first reel body and the second reel body.

Abstract: A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a tubular pinion gear, a first bearing, a spool shaft, a spool attached to the spool shaft, and a clutch mechanism. The first bearing member supports an outer perimeter surface of a first end portion of the pinion gear. The spool shaft extends through an interior of the pinion gear and is rotatably supported in the reel body. The clutch mechanism is configured to switch between a clutch on state to connect the pinion gear and the spool shaft, and a clutch off state to release the connection between the pinion gear and the spool shaft. The spool shaft includes a support portion configured to support an inner perimeter surface of a second end portion of the pinion gear in the clutch on state.

Abstract: A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool, a drag mechanism, a drag lever, and an engagement member. The drag mechanism is configured to brake the rotation of the spool. The drag lever is pivotably attached to the first reel body portion so as to be operable between a first region and a second region. The engagement member protrudes from the drag lever when the drag lever is in the first region. Further, the engagement member is retracted into the drag lever when the drag lever is in the second region.

Abstract: A drag device for a dual bearing reel includes a drag device, a sound generating member, and a housing member. The drag plate is integrally rotatable with the drive shaft, and is capable of being pressed by a drag adjustment member. The drag plate includes a sound generating plate opposed to the drive gear. The sound generating member includes a head portion configured to contact the sound generating plate, and a shaft portion connected to the head portion. The sound generating member is configured to generate a sound by interference between the sound generating plate and the head portion during relative rotation between the drive gear and the drag plate. The housing member is configured to be mounted to the drive gear and includes a holding portion to hold the shaft portion of the sound generating member, and a regulating portion configured to regulate movement of the head portion.

Abstract: A torque limiting device includes a shaft member that is rotatable by torque, a first cam portion, a second cam portion and an urging member. The first cam portion is rotatably mounted to the shaft member. The second cam portion is mounted to the shaft member so as to be unitarily rotatable therewith and be movable along an axial direction of the shaft member. The second cam portion is configured to enable torque transmission between the first cam portion and the second cam portion when engaged with the first cam portion so as to be unitarily rotatable therewith. Additionally, the second cam portion is configured to disable torque transmission between the first cam portion and the second cam portion when disengaged and separated away from the first cam portion along the axial direction. The urging member urges the second cam portion toward the first cam portion.

Abstract: A clutch mechanism includes a clutch portion and a pinion gear. The pinion gear has an engaging part and a gear part. The engaging part is located on a first end as a spool-side end of the pinion gear and is capable of being engaged with the clutch portion. The gear part is meshed with the drive gear. The gear part has helical teeth enabling the pinion gear to be urged toward the spool by the drive gear. The engaging part has a bottom and a first wall. The first wall extends from the bottom toward the first end and tilts in the same direction as the helical teeth with respect to the spool shaft such that the pinion gear is urged oppositely to the spool by the clutch portion when the engaging part is engaged with the clutch portion and receives transmission of rotation in a fishing-line releasing direction from the spool.
