Abstract: The present invention provides a component of a fishing reel that make it possible to achieve precise finished dimensions and improve the efficiency of the entire surface treatment while maintaining a bright and substantial external appearance with a metallic feeling and corrosion resistance. The component of a fishing reel according to the present invention is formed of a die-cast material and includes: a first surface treatment region including a coating layer and an anodic oxide film, the coating layer being formed on the die-cast material and formed of aluminum with a higher aluminum purity than the die-cast material, the anodic oxide film being formed on the coating layer; and a second surface treatment region including an anodic oxide film formed on the die-cast material.

Abstract: Fishing reel components and a manufacturing method thereof that achieve not only highly accurate finishing dimensions, but also a deep and glossy metallic appearance while maintaining sufficient corrosion resistance at a precision finishing portion that rotatably supports a drive member, and that can increase the work efficiently of the entire surface treatment. The fishing reel components include a body member having a coating layer formed of higher-purity aluminum than that of the die-cast material on the die-cast material; and the anticorrosion layer formed by anodization on the coating layer. The body member is provided with the support portion that rotatably supports a drive member. The support portion independent from the body member is formed by the support member having a higher corrosion resistance than the die-cast material of the body member.

Abstract: The present invention provides hot melt adhesives. A hot melt adhesive according to the present invention contains a styrenic block copolymer (A) containing a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (A1); and at least one styrenic block copolymer (A4) selected from the group consisting of a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (A2) and a styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer (A3), wherein the styrenic block copolymer (A) contains a predetermined amount of the styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (A1) relative to the total amount of the styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (A1) and the styrenic block copolymer (A4); a tackifier (B); and a plasticizer (C), wherein the hot melt adhesive has a melt viscosity of 6000 mPa s or lower.

Abstract: One object is to provide a gear to be included in a fishing reel to produce excellent rotation feeling while reducing the weight relative to the strength. In accordance with one aspect, a drive gear included in a fishing reel is formed of a circumferential part having tooth surfaces and a body part radially inside the circumferential part which are made of different materials and integrated together. These materials satisfy the following conditions: S1>S2, P1>P2, and F1<F2, where S1 and S2 represent material strengths, P1 and P2 represent material densities (specific gravities), and F1 and F2 represent vibration damping capacities for the circumferential part and the body part, respectively.

Abstract: A fishing gear in which an attached part (8) is assembled onto a main body member (6) formed of a base metal protected by an insulating coating, characterized in that a fixing member (20) for attaching and fixing the attached part to the main body member (6) is formed of an aluminum alloy in which an Fe component is 0.6 wt. % or less, a Cu component is 0.2 wt. % or less, an Ni component is 0.1 wt. % or less, and a Ti component is 0.03 wt. % or less.
