Abstract

[Problem] To provide a fishing reel including a controller capable of maintaining a low power consumption state based on the rotation state of a spool and the state of a clutch. [Solution] A fishing reel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a spool, a power supply, a controller, a clutch, and a clutch state detector, wherein the controller is configured to switch between a first state of high power consumption and a second state of lower power consumption than the first state, and to switch from the second state to the first state when the clutch detector detects the off-state of the clutch.

Claims (15)

1. A fishing reel comprising:

a spool, a power supply, a controller, a clutch, and a clutch state detector,

wherein the controller switches between a first state of high power consumption, and a second state of low power consumption lower than the first state, and

wherein the clutch state detector switches from the second state to the first state when detecting an off-state of the clutch.

2. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , wherein the clutch state detector switches from the first state to the second state when detecting an on-state of the clutch.

3. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , comprising a flight distance measurer, wherein the controller switches a power consumption state of the flight distance measurer so that the first state is a measurable state, and the second state is a measurement stop state.

4. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , comprising a communication processor, wherein the controller switches a power consumption state of the communication processor so that the first state is a communicable state, and the second state is an uncommunicable state.

5. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , comprising a brake for the spool, wherein the controller switches a power consumption state of the brake so that the first state is a braking force changeable state, and the second state is a braking force unchangeable state.

6. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , comprising a drag brake for the spool, wherein the controller switches a power consumption state of the drag brake so that the first state is a state capable of generating a drag force, and the second state is a state with no drag force.

7. The fishing reel according to claim 1 , comprising: a main body supporting the spool; a handle provided on one side of the main body; a detected portion extending in a lateral direction of the main body in response to an operation of the clutch; and a detected portion state detector that detects a state of the detected portion, wherein the power supply is provided on another side of the main body and supplies power to the detected portion state detector.

8. A fishing reel comprising:

a spool, a power supply, a controller, and a spool state detector that detects a rotation state of the spool,

wherein the controller switches between a first state of high power consumption, and a second state of low power consumption lower than the first state, and

wherein the spool state detector switches from the second state to the first state when detecting a rotation of the spool at a rotation speed of 500 rpm or more.

9. The fishing reel according to claim 8 , wherein the spool state detector switches from the first state to the second state when detecting the rotation of the spool at a rotation speed of less than 500 rpm.
