Abstract: A dual-bearing reel includes a handle, a spool, a spool shaft, a clutch mechanism, a pinion gear, and an elastic member. The spool shaft is connected to the spool to be integrally rotatable and has a first abutting portion. The pinion gear has a second abutting portion to abut the first abutting portion in the axial direction in the inner circumferential portion thereof, and can move in the axial direction between a coupled position, in which the pinion gear is connected to the spool shaft so as to be integrally rotatable, and a decoupled position, in which the connection is disconnected. When the pinion gear is in the coupled position, the elastic member contacts the distal end of the pinion gear and biases the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion in directions away from each other.

Abstract: A frame has a first side plate, a second side plate, a level winding guard, and a mounting portion. The first side plate, the second side plate, the level winding guard, and the mounting portion are formed of a single member. The first side plate has a thick portion and a through hole. The thick portion is formed in front of a spool on an inside surface of the first side plate. The through hole penetrates the thick portion in an axial direction. In addition, the through hole has an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the guide member.

Abstract: A dual-bearing reel for fishing includes a drag disc non-rotatably mounted on a spool; a pinion gear collar disposed on the handle side of the drag disc and immovable in a spool shaft direction; a drag receiver disposed on the side opposite the handle and movable in the spool shaft direction in conjunction with a spool shaft; a biasing member configured to bias the drag disc and the drag receiver in a direction that separates them; a drag lever movable between a clamping position and a separation position; and a movement mechanism configured to move the spool shaft to the side opposite the handle such that the drag disc, the pinion gear collar, and the drag receiver are separated from each other, and configured to move the spool shaft to the handle side such that the pinion gear collar and the drag receiver clamp the drag disc.

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.

Abstract: A fishing reel includes a reel body that supports a spool so as to be rotatable, and a spool brake. The spool brake includes an operator and a braking force adjuster. The operator is configured to be rotatable and axially immovable with respect to the reel body, and has an internal space extending in an axial direction and opening axially outwardly. The braking force adjuster is disposed in the internal space and is configured to be axially movable with respect to the reel body in conjunction with rotation of the operator to adjust a braking force of the spool.

Abstract: A drag lever is configured to adjust a braking force of a drag mechanism configured to brake rotation of a spool, the drag lever including a mounting portion rotatably mounted on a reel body, an operation portion extending from the mounting portion in a radial direction of a pivot shaft and configured to swing in a first operation range, and an operation range adjustment member provided to the operation portion and configured to adjust the first operation range of the operation portion to a second operation range. This arrangement may suppress entanglement of a fishing line during fishing and adjusts the operation range of the drag lever.

Abstract: Provided is a sound generation mechanism including a rotation member configured to rotate together with a spool and including a recess-protrusion portion formed on an outer peripheral surface along a circumferential direction of the rotation member; a contacting member moveably supported relative to a pivot shaft and configured to elastically move relative to the recess-protrusion portion of the rotation member; a biasing member configured to bias the contacting member to a predetermined position; and a restriction member configured to restrict movement of the contacting member in an axial direction of the pivot shaft. With this mechanism, detachment or damage of a retaining ring due to movement of a contacting member can be suppressed.

Abstract: A spool braking device includes a brake drum and a rotation structure. The brake drum is disposed in a reel body and positioned alongside a spool in an axial direction. The rotation structure is arranged between the spool and the brake drum in the axial direction. The rotation structure has a support, a brake shoe, and a biasing member. The support rotates in accordance with a spool shaft. The brake shoe has a center of gravity arranged outside of the brake drum in a radial direction. The brake shoe is configured to contact a tapered surface of the brake drum. The biasing member biases one of the support or the brake drum towards another one of the support or the brake drum. The one of the support or the brake drum is movable in the axial direction with respect to the another one of the support or the brake drum.

Abstract: A dual-bearing reel for casting a fishing line in a forward direction includes a first side plate on a first side, a second side plate on a second side, a rod mounting portion, a front cover and a handle. The second side plate is apart from the first side plate in a lateral direction so as to form a space therebetween. The rod mounting portion is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate. The front cover has a distal end portion, and covers the space between the first side plate and the second side plate from a front. The handle disposed on the first side. The center of the distal end portion of the front cover in the lateral direction is positioned toward the first side relative to a center of the rod mounting portion in the lateral direction.
