Abstract
A fishing reel includes a spool, a spool shaft supported by a reel body so as to be freely rotatable and to rotate integrally with the spool, a clutch mechanism to switch between a transmitting state in which winding power is transmitted to the spool and a dis-transmitting state in which transmission of the winding power to the spool is cut off, a clutch operating unit to operate the clutch mechanism, a shift mechanism in a first mode while the clutch mechanism is in the transmitting state, and which shifts to a second mode that is different from the first mode while the clutch mechanism is in the dis-transmitting state, and a detection unit to detect at least one of the first mode or the second mode of the shift mechanism.
Claims5
A fishing reel, comprising:
- a spool configured to cast a fishing line in a first direction;
- a spool shaft supported by a reel body so as to be rotatable and configured to rotate integrally with the spool;
- a clutch mechanism configured to switch between a transmitting state in which winding power is transmitted to the spool and a dis-transmitting state in which winding power is not transmitted to the spool;
- a clutch operating unit configured to operate the clutch mechanism, provided in a second direction that is opposite of the first direction with respect to the spool shaft;
- a shift mechanism being in a first mode while the clutch mechanism is in the transmitting state, and configured to shift to a second mode that is different from the first mode while the clutch mechanism is in the dis-transmitting state;
- and
- a detection unit provided in the first direction with respect to the spool shaft and configured to detect the mode of the shift mechanism.
