  • Patent number: 9433197
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a fishing reel having a centrifugal brake system. The fishing reel includes a frame, a shaft, a spool and a centrifugal brake system. The centrifugal brake system includes a support member, a plurality of brake shoes, a brake disc, a controller and a connection member. The support member is provided on one side of the spool and is rotated in conjunction with the spool. The brake shoes are radially coupled to the support member by respective shaft pins. Each brake shoe has a heavy weight part and a light weight part on opposite sides based on the shaft pin to have a weight eccentric structure. The controller adjusts a distance between the brake disc and the brake shoes, thus controlling braking power. The connection member is coupled to the support member and includes protruding stoppers which limits swing displacement angles of the respective brake shoes.

  • Patent number: 9295244
    Abstract: Provided is a fishing reel with a fishhook hanger. The fishing reel includes: a reel body with a reception part formed in the reel body; and a fishhook hanger which has a hanging part to which a fishhook is hung, and a connection part coupled to the reception part. The fishhook can be stably hung on the hanging part of the fishhook hanger so that the fishhook can be prevented from damaging the fishing reel or injuring a user, and handling of the fishing rod with the fishing reel can be facilitated. Particularly, the fishhook hanger is configured such that it can be retractably extracted from the reel body. Therefore, the fishhook hanger can be retracted into the reel body as needed while the fishing rod is used. Furthermore, the fishhook hanger can be easily extracted from and retracted into the reel body in a simple manner.

  • Patent number: 9198407
    Abstract: Provided is a fishing reel having reliability in opening a side cover. The fishing reel is configured such that when the side cover opens, the side cover hangs from the reel body rather than being completely separated from the reel body, so that the user can easily open the side cover even when standing on uneven terrain such as on the rocks of a seashore. The fishing reel has a pillar structure which can conduct a first-extraction and second rotation operation such that even when the reel is designed in such a way that an end of the spool shaft necessarily protrudes out of the reel body, a rotating and opening operation of a cover assembly including the spool cover and the side cover is prevented from be impeded by the shaft, whereby even when in an extreme fishing environment, reliability in opening the side cover can be ensured.

  • Patent number: 9072284
    Abstract: A fishing reel having a side cover that can be opened and closed in order to attach and detach a spool or the like. The fishing reel having the quick-opening side cover can be operated with one hand, in which a quick-opening system is employed such that a fisher can open the side cover by moving a lock by manipulating it with one hand. A grip of the lock can stay in the protruded state when the side cover is opened such that the fisher can close the side cover surely and securely, thereby preventing the side cover from being opened during fishing.
