  • Patent number: 6629658
    Abstract: A fishing line re-winding device includes a handle and a crank is connected to an end of the handle. The crank has a section that is perpendicular to the handle so that a mandrel of fishing line can be mounted to the section. An end member is mounted to the section to urge the mandrel in position. The reel is engaged with the handle and the fishing line is connected to the reel so that the fishing line is wound to the reel by rotating the crank handle of the reel.

  • Patent number: 6626384
    Abstract: A control device for preventing the shaft of fishing reel from rotating includes a plate pivotally connected to the body of the reel and a hook is defined in an end of the plate. A shaft is connected to a spool portion of the reel and has a groove defined in an outer periphery of the shaft. The hook is disengagably engaged with the groove so as to prevent the shaft from being rotated when the release button is unintentionally touched.

  • Publication number: 20030122011
    Abstract: A transmission structure of a fishing reel includes a housing, a gear transmission set, and a slide block. The gear transmission set includes a handle for rotating an actuating gear which rotates an idler which rotates a drive gear. A locking column is secured in the housing to function as a guide member for guiding movement of the slide block. The slide block is juxtaposed to the actuating gear and the drive gear, thereby reducing the volume. The slide block is secured on the distal end of the spindle of the fishing reel, thereby reducing the volume.
