GLOBERIDE, Inc.

A line length measuring device that is capable of measuring a line length of a fishing line reeled out from a spool of a fishing reel and includes: a rotation detector capable of detecting a number of revolutions of the spool relative to a 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.

A fishing line guide including a guide main body that comprise a ring holding portion to which an annular guide ring is attached; a first leg portion that extends from the guide main body; a second leg portion that branches from the guide main body and extends at an angle different from an angle in an extending direction of the first leg portion; and a fixing portion that is formed between and connected to the first leg portion and the second leg portion and is used to fix the fishing line guide to a rod body of a fishing rod. A through-hole is formed between the first leg portion, the second leg portion, and the fixing portion.

An electric fishing reel comprises a reel main body that comprises a left frame and a right frame and side plates covering the left and right frames, an operating part that is provided on a side of the left frame or a side of the right frame and is rotatable, a handle shaft of the operating part, a drive gear that comprises a cylindrical portion and a tooth surface and is rotatably frictionally coupled to the handle shaft, and a drag washer that is non-rotatably fitted to the handle shaft and is provided at an end of the drive gear on a side in a direction of the handle shaft, in which a protruding portion protruding in a direction of the drive gear from an inside of the side plate covering the left frame or the right frame is provided, and an end of the protruding portion is formed to be separated by a distance equal to or less than 3.0 mm with respect to an upper surface of the drive gear as viewed in the direction of the handle shaft.

A fishing reel of the present invention comprises a battery box that accommodates a replaceable battery in a side plate on a side opposite to a handle of a reel main body, a holding member that is movable integrally with a clutch operation member and holds a detection target unit, and a detection sensor that is disposed in the battery box and detects the moving detection target unit to determine whether a clutch mechanism is in an ON state or an OFF state. The holding member is engaged with a guide portion formed around the battery box, and the detection target unit is guided by the guide portion together with the holding member and moves when the clutch operation member moves.

A reel seat includes a seat main body including a reel leg placement portion, a fixed hood formed on one end side of the placement portion in an axial direction and fixes one end of the reel leg, and a male screw portion formed on another end side of the placement portion in the axial direction. A nut member that is screwed to the male screw portion and a floating hood that approaches/separates from the fixed hood by a rotation operation of the nut member are disposed in the seat main body, and an abutment locking surface against which an end surface of the nut member abuts when the nut member is fastened by the rotation operation is formed at an end portion on the placement portion side of unevenness of the male screw portion. The abutment locking surface is formed in a semicircular region on the placement portion side.

A reel seat attached to a rod body includes: a main body including a reel leg placing portion, a fixed hood, and a tubular portion; a movable hood; and a cylindrical nut member. The reel seat is capable of fixing a reel to the reel seat by preventing a hand or a finger from touching an operating member for fixing a reel leg to the reel seat when the reel is gripped or during a casting operation, and a fishing rod including the same.

A reel seat comprises a reel seat main body comprising a fixed hood into which one end of a mounting leg portion is inserted, and a floating hood attached movably in an axial direction with respect to the reel seat main body and into which the other end of the mounting leg portion is inserted. The reel seat comprises placement surfaces provided on the reel seat main body and on which the mounting leg portion is placed, and protrusion portions formed so as to protrude in a circumferential direction from both side edges of the placement surfaces when viewed in the axial direction of the reel seat main body. The protrusion portions extend in the axial direction at portions touched by fingers when being gripped together with the mounting leg portion.

Provided is a nut capable of enabling smooth rotation while reliably fixing an outer tubular portion with an inner tubular portion as well as of improving decorativeness significantly, a fishing rod reel seat having the nut, and a fishing rod having the fishing rod reel seat. A nut according to an embodiment of the present invention is a nut for moving a movable hood, the nut being screwed with a male screw portion of a reel seat main body having a reel leg placing portion on which a reel leg is placed, the nut comprising: a nut base portion having a moving female screw portion on an inner peripheral surface and locked to the movable hood at an end, the female screw portion being screwed with the male screw portion of the reel seat main body; an inner tubular portion having a protruding portion or recessed portion, and fixed to an exterior of the nut base portion; and an outer tubular portion having a recessed portion or protruding portion engaged with the protruding portion or recessed portion, and fixed to an exterior of the inner tubular portion by the recessed portion or protruding portion, the outer tubular portion having an outer peripheral surface serving as at least a part of an outer peripheral surface of the nut, wherein the outer tubular portion has a through-hole penetrating in an inward and outward direction, and is provided at a position where at least a part of the through-hole and at least a part of the recessed portion or protruding portion overlap when viewed in an axial direction of the outer tubular portion.

A fishing reel of the present invention comprises includes a battery box that accommodates a replaceable battery, a clutch mechanism comprising a clutch operation member that switches a spool between a free rotation state and a fishing line winding state, and a clutch position detection unit that determines whether the clutch mechanism is in an ON state or an OFF state. The clutch position detection unit comprises a magnet held by a holding member that is movable integrally with the clutch operation member, and a clutch detection sensor that detects the magnet, and the clutch detection sensor is accommodated in the battery box.
