Abstract: A fishing reel with a line transfer mechanism is provided. The line transfer mechanism includes a line transfer arm that toggles over a spool for selectively transferring a fishing line between a cast mode and a retrieve mode. A first end of the line transfer arm is pivoted to a reel body of the fishing reel. An eye member is disposed on the line transfer arm for passing the fishing line from and to the spool. The eye member is disposed substantially perpendicular to a direction of the fishing line in the cast and retrieve modes. An angled bend configured proximal to one or both of the first end and a second end of the line transfer arm allows the eye member to be disposed proximal to the fishing reel in the cast and retrieve modes while maintaining the eye member substantially perpendicular to the direction of the fishing line.

Abstract: Fishing reel system embodiments herein include an extendable arm assembly and a reel assembly rotatably attached thereto. Certain reel assembly embodiments include an adjustable drag washer stack that can be adjustably compressed to adjust the amount of friction within the washer stack. Other implementations include solely a reel assembly with such an adjustable drag washer stack.

Abstract: A variable speed motor driven fishing reel is powered by a brushless DC motor and adapted for remote control operation by adapting a salt water bait-casting reel with a motorized drive assembly including an end plate having an environmentally sealed cover removably connected thereto, and mounted on the opposite side of the reel from the manual crank, the drive assembly including a brushless DC out-runner motor having an output shaft connected to a planetary gear system configured to power rotation of the fishing reel spool axel for driving the spool. A power cable provides 12.0 volt DC power from a suitable on-board vessel power source. An electronic motor control system allows for variation of DC motor speed via a manually actuated speed control knob. A remote control device is adapted for wireless communication with the electronic motor control system to allow for remote activation of the DC motor in low and high speed modes.

Abstract: An electrically powered reel for fishing is presented, which enables the operator to perform a series of sounding operations smoothly and quickly and has superior graspability and holdability as well. The electrically powered reel for fishing includes: a spool which is provided between left and right side plates and of a main body of the reel, and around which a fishing line is wound; a drive motor which is provided in the main body of the reel and rotates and drives the spool; and an operation member which adjusts a power of the drive motor. In addition, when a space between an operation portion of the operation member and an operation portion of a clutch-OFF switching member is connected by a virtual shortest straight line, each component member of the reel is arranged so as to avoid the virtual straight line.

Abstract: A cell main body and a control portion are tightly stored within a case main body, which is provided with a joint connector for electrical connection to the cell main body and the control portion. A nut member is disposed to surround this joint connector, which is attached for feeding to a feed connection portion for external power source connection of an electric reel. The nut member is screwed around a ferrule portion of the feed connection portion, and the case main body is mounted on the electric reel in a state where an engaged portion of the nut member is engaged by an engagement portion of the joint connector.

Abstract: An electric fishing reel has a power transmission mechanism for transmitting rotational driving force based on a drive motor and a manual handle to a spool; and a clutch mechanism for switching the power transmission mechanism between a power transmitting state and a power cutoff state. The power transmission mechanism includes a planetary gear mechanism disposed on the drive motor; a first rotor with which the planetary gear mesh; a second rotor which is driven and coupled to the first rotor through a belt; and a clutch actuating member fitted and rotationally locked in the second rotor to be movable in an axial direction and is moved in the axial direction. An engaging portion of the clutch actuating member is capable of switching the power transmission mechanism between a power transmitting state and a power cutoff state by engaging with or disengaging from a retaining portion of the spool.

Abstract: An electric fishing reel which is provided with a speed change mechanism excellent in silence and durability while realizing the size reduction. The electric fishing reel comprises: a drive motor for rotationally driving a spool rotatably supported on a reel body; a speed change mechanism rotatably mounted on a motor spindle and including an output gear having a rotational speed switched into a high speed or a low speed in accordance with the rotational direction of the motor spindle; and a power transmission mechanism for transmitting the rotation of the output gear to the spool. The speed change mechanism switches the rotational speed of the output gear by regulating the transmission of the rotation of the motor spindle with respect to the output gear.

Abstract: A belt and pulleys are used as a power transmitting unit in a fishing reel for avoiding uncomfortable vibration or noises while fishing. A spool motor is supported in a motor receiving case provided at front and lower parts between both side frames, and a toothed pulley 21 is urged in the other side of a rotating shaft and is made detent. Another toothed pulley is fitted in a detent portion of a spool shaft by an E-ring, and a toothed belt is expanded between the toothed pulley and the other toothed pulley.

Abstract: A device for use in conjunction with a conventional hand electrical drill to load a fishing line onto a fishing reel, comprises a generally L-shaped structure wherein the two legs thereof extend a right angle, one of the legs being adapted to be chucked within the drill and the other leg of which is adapted to engage the handle of the fishing reel to cause rotation of the handle and consequently rotation of the fishing reel spool when the drill motor is engaged.

Abstract: A motor operated fishing reel comprising a base frame chassis. A bracket attaches the base frame chassis to a soft cushion rubber grip handle of a fishing rod having a detachable wrist strap. A spool is mounted in a rotatable manner within the base frame chassis. A fishing line is wound upon the spool and extends from a forward end of the base frame chassis. A crank handle assembly is mounted on one side of the base frame chassis for manually rotating the spool. An electric drive unit within the base frame chassis is for electrically rotating the spool. A drag control structure is for providing drag on the fishing line to catch a fish.
