Abstract: In a spinning reel for fishing, a spool includes a fishline winding barrel portion, a front side flange, a rear cylindrical portion and the like. The spool further includes a recessed portion formed in the inside of the rear end portion of the rear cylindrical portion, and an annular portion is fixed integrally to the recessed portion. The annular portion includes a fixed portion and an annular skirt portion, while the annular skirt potion is so formed as to project inwardly. The leading end inner periphery of the annular skirt portion of the annular potion is opposed to the outer periphery of the large-diameter cylindrical potion of a rotor with a small clearance between them.

Abstract: A spinning reel for fishing includes a rotor rotatably fitted to a reel body, and a spool supported by the reel body via a spool shaft in such a manner that the spool is capable of a traverse motion in the axial direction of the spool shaft and that a fishing line is wound thereon when the rotor is rotated by a manually operated handle. The spinning reel for fishing is further includes a fishing-line entry restrainer for preventing the fishing line from being wound on the spool shaft. The fishing-line entry restrainer is movably fitted to the cylindrical portion of the rotor placed in the spool. A follow-up mechanism is provided for causing the fishing-line entry restrainer to move forward when the spool is moved in the same direction.

Abstract: An improved spool of the type used in fishing reels facilitates removal of old line from the spool so that the time required to replace a worn line is reduced from nearly half an hour to just a few moments. The same improved spool also has utility in removing line from conventional spools. The improved spool is built in two parts that are detachably secured to one another and quickly releasable from one another. The central part of the spool has a hyperbolic contour which serves to wind the line into a compact coil so that the removed line is easily stored in a small space for subsequent recycling or appropriate disposal.

Abstract: A fishing reel spool is defined along a central axis, with the spool defined as a cylindrical tubular member formed with parallel flanges at each end of the spool. The spool includes a spool wall, with an elongate slot directed therethrough. The slot arranged generally parallel to the axis. The slot includes a cylindrical entrance in communication with a diametrically aligned elongate longitudinal slot, wherein the cylindrical entrance receives a knot of a fishing line and the knot is directed interiorly of the cylindrical spool for securement of the fishing line permitting ease of mounting of the fishing line to the spool in a winding procedure.

Abstract: A fishing reel of the oscillating or reciprocating spool type features a bifurcated drum. The drum is separated into a large drum and a small drum. The line speed will vary upon reel-in as the line is periodically or alternately switched between the different sized wind-up drums.

Abstract: A spinning reel includes a spool rotatably supported by a spool shaft, a drag member for imparting a braking force to rotation of the spool, and an adjusting member for axially pressing the drag member to thereby adjust the braking force. The spool includes a front face and an annular projection projecting from the front face for preventing water from entering the front face to reach the drag member. The adjusting member is provided with an annular groove for receiving the annular projection.

Abstract: A fishing reel and changeable cartridge spool that is especially useable with a fly fishing reel or a spinning reel which allows cartridges containing fishing lines of different weights and densities to be quickly and readily interchanged onto the spool of a single reel. The improved reel spool includes a system that permits attachment of a first and a second cartridge spool filled with a line. The removable cartridge spool is mounted on the first spool which includes a threaded end face that is threadably connected to the spool axle and spool end face. The device employs one spool, which can be threadably separated and a cartridge spool which contains the line and which fits over the first spool axle and includes a locking detent so that the first and cartridge spools are in effect locked together. The first spool fits on the conventional reel shaft. The reel housing and the drag and winding mechanisms are not changed.

Abstract: A fishing reel with removable spool and reduction of the free motion is disclosed, comprising a removable spool which can be fitted on a shaft integral with the reel body. A main annular seal made from a resilient material is inserted between the spool bore and the spool shaft. The seal is compressed axially and radially between corresponding surfaces of the spool and the shaft. A secondary seal is compressed radially between the spool and the shaft. The seals reduce the free motion between the spool and the shaft.
