Abstract: A silencer of an anti-reverse fishing reel comprises a rubbing block adhered onto a catch which prevents the reverse rotation of a ratchet of the fishing reel and a buffer recess with a wide opening formed on the catch. Whenever normally rotating the ratchet of a fishing reel, the driving gear of the fishing reel will frictionally carry the rubbing block and the catch to a position outside the rotating radius of the ratchet teeth so as to eliminate the clicking sound generally produced between the ratchet and catch. The buffer recess has a wide opening on the catch providing a buffer space for releasing the catch from the ratchet teeth.

Abstract: An instant push-button fastener for fastening a fishing reel seat to the handle of a fishing rod comprises a clamping button, a coupling sleeve and a releasing button. The clamping button is depressed to insert an engaging head into the coupling sleeve. The coupling sleeve fixedly retains the engaging head, securing the fishing reel seat to the handle of the fishing rod. The releasing button is depressed to release the engaging head from the coupling sleeve, thus releasing the fishing reel seat from the handle.
