Abstract: A line length measuring device according to one embodiment of the present invention is a line length measuring device capable of measuring a line length of a fishing line reeled out from a spool of a fishing reel, which comprises a reel main body and the spool around which the fishing line is windable, and comprises: a rotation detector capable of detecting a number of revolutions of the spool relative to the reel main body; a line length calculator that calculates a line length of the reeled out fishing line from the number of revolutions detected by the rotation detector; and a fishing line information setting part that sets fishing line information for the calculation of the line length of the reeled out fishing line by the line length calculator, the fishing line information setting part being configured to enable input of a type of a fishing line to be wound and a line winding diameter (Dmax) of the spool after winding of the fishing line to be wound.

Abstract: A fishing tool according to an embodiment of the present disclosure comprises an operating part that is operable by a user to change a setting related to a characteristic of the fishing tool, and a control part that controls the characteristic of the fishing tool, and is capable of receiving an operation by the operating part and changing the setting related to the characteristic of the fishing tool. The change in the setting related to the characteristic of the fishing tool is performed using a plurality of setting values for the setting, and based on whether a previous change in the setting related to the characteristic of the fishing tool is a change in the setting in a first direction or a change in the setting in a second direction, the control part receives a next operation of the operating part and changes a setting value of the setting.

Abstract: A fishing reel comprises: a spool designed to wind a fishing line by operation with an operating part; a first side plate having the operating part, the first side plate axially supporting the spool; a second side plate disposed opposite to the first side plate when viewed along an axis of the spool, the second side plate axially supporting the spool; an opposite side cover or a cover on an opposite side from the operating part, the opposite side cover covering the second side plate on a side opposed to the operating part; a control substrate disposed between the second side plate and the opposite side cover; and an electrical component electrically connected to the control substrate, the electrical component being disposed between the control substrate and the opposite side cover.

Abstract: A braking device of a fishing reel comprises: a braked part made of a conductor, the braked part being attached to a spool designed to wind a fishing line; a braking part generating braking force by providing a magnetic field for the braked part; a part being detected that is provided on the braked part; and a rotation detection sensor sensing rotation of the spool by detecting the part being detected.

Abstract: A fishing reel comprises: a circuit board; a plurality of electrical components electrically connected to the circuit board; an external-device connection unit electrically connected to the circuit board; and a watertight structure to accommodate the circuit board inside.

Abstract: One object is to provide an electric fishing reel wherein it is possible to prevent fingers of a user from contacting with an electric motor and improve heat releasing performance of the electric motor. In accordance with one aspect, an electric fishing reel of the present invention includes: a reel body; a spool provided on the reel body and configured to have a fishing line wound thereon; an electric motor provided in a front portion of the reel body and configured to rotationally drive the spool; and a cover member mounted on the reel body so as to surround the electric motor, wherein the cover member includes a front portion in front of the electric motor and a side portion on a side of the electric motor, and at least one of the front portion and the side portion of the cover member has an opening formed therein.

Abstract: One object is to provide a fishing reel in which under a high load, a smooth rotation performance of the handle shaft and the pinion gear shaft can be maintained and the accuracy of the position to support the handle shaft and the pinion gear shaft can be ensured.
