Abstract: A dual-bearing reel is attachable to a fishing rod and releases a fishing line forward. The dual-bearing reel includes a reel unit, a spool for winding the fishing line, a handle and a level wind mechanism. The spool is rotatably disposed in the reel unit. The handle is rotatably disposed on a lateral part of the reel unit. The level wind mechanism uniformly winds the fishing line onto the spool. The level wind mechanism includes a worm shaft, a guide member and a slide member. The worm shaft includes a helical groove. The guide member is disposed on an outer peripheral side of the worm shaft, and includes an opening and at least one water drain. The opening extends in a lengthwise direction of the worm shaft. The slide member slides along the guide member while engaged with the helical groove.

Abstract: A fishing reel forwardly releases a fishing line and includes a reel unit, a spool, a spool brake, an electric component, and a voltage booster circuit. The spool is rotatably supported by the reel unit. The spool brake generates an electric power upon a rotation of the spool, and applies a brake force to brake the spool using the electric power when the spool is rotated. The electric component operates using the electric power generated by the spool brake. The voltage booster circuit increases a voltage supplied to the electric component.

Abstract: A spool brake device for a fishing reel includes an electric spool brake, a rotation detector, and a controller. The rotation detector detects a rotation of the spool. The controller calculates a rotational velocity of the spool based on the rotation of the spool, determines whether the fishing reel is in a casting state based on the rotational velocity, controls the spool brake to brake the spool upon a determination that the fishing reel is in the casting state, and controls the spool brake to not brake the spool upon a determination that the fishing reel is not in the casting state.

Abstract: A level winding mechanism for a dual-hearing reel is equipped with a worm shaft including intersecting spiral grooves and an engagement pin, and a torque limiting mechanism. The engagement pin engages the spiral grooves. The torque limiting mechanism limits the rotational drive force which rotates the worm shaft. At least a portion of the worm shaft is made of synthetic resin.

Abstract: A cover open mechanism of a dual-bearing reel includes a frame, a first side cover, a spool support portion and a cover opening and closing portion. The cover opening and closing portion includes a cover opening and closing structure and an urging member. The cover opening and closing structure is engaged with the spool support portion and the first side cover, and sets an opened/closed state of the first side cover. The urging member is disposed between the first side cover and the cover opening and closing structure, and urges the first side cover in an openable state. The first side cover is configured to be prevented from rotating when any one of the first side cover and the spool support portion is engaged with the other of the first side cover and the spool support portion.

Abstract: A present dual-bearing reel spool braking device is configured to apply a braking force to a spool that is rotatably mounted on a reel body with a centrifugal force. The spool braking device includes a rotating member, a brake shoe, a brake drum, and a selective fixing member. The rotating member rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the spool. The brake shoe is supported by a rotating member so as to be pivotal between a braking position where the brakes are applied to the spool with a centrifugal force and a non-braking position where a non-braking rotation of the spool is allowed. The brake drum is configured to come into contact with the brake shoe. The selective fixing member is mounted to the rotating member. The selective fixing member selectively fixes the brake shoe to the non-braking position by selectively engaging with the brake shoe.

Abstract: A spool of a dual-bearing reel includes a bobbin trunk, first and second flange portions and cylindrical portions. The first flange portion extends outwardly from the first end of the bobbin trunk and the second flange portion extends outwardly from the second end of the bobbin trunk. The first and second flanges do not have through-holes penetrating therethrough in an axial direction. The cylindrical portions extend outwardly from distal end portions of the flange portions. The first and second flange portions have a first tapered portion and a second tapered portion, respectively, each of the first and tapered portions becoming thinner in a radially outward direction. An average width between the first and tapered portions is less than or equal to 60% of an outer diameter of the cylindrical portion.
