Description

  The present invention relates to a fishing reel provided with a fishing line guide body that winds and guides a fishing line in parallel around a spool between side plates in front of the spool.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a double-bearing type fishing reel, a level wind device is disposed so as to evenly wind a fishing line around a spool rotatably supported between left and right side plates. For example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, this level wind device is a fishing line that reciprocates left and right in front of a spool in conjunction with a winding operation of a handle rotatably disposed on one side plate. A guide body is provided, and the fishing line is wound in parallel to the spool by inserting the fishing line through the fishing line guide body.

  In the fishing reel having the above-described configuration, the fishing line wound around the spool is released through the fishing line guide body by switching the spool mechanism to the free rotation state by turning off the clutch mechanism. If the distance between the fishing line discharge end wound around the fishing line and the fishing line guide body is short, the line resistance tends to occur when the fishing line is released, and the flying distance of the mechanism decreases. Will fall). In addition, since the fishing line guide body is formed relatively narrow so that the fishing line can be wound evenly around the spool, the line resistance when the fishing line is released tends to increase.

  Therefore, for example, in Patent Document 2, an operation member that interlocks with the clutch mechanism is provided on the side opposite to the handle, and when the fishing line is released, the operation member is tilted forward to turn the clutch mechanism OFF and at the same time expand to the outer end. A fishing reel is disclosed in which a fishing line guide body having a circular portion is rotated forward to reduce the line resistance when releasing the fishing line.

Shoko 62-9810 JP-B-39-11030

  The fishing line guide body of the fishing reel disclosed in Patent Document 2 described above is formed in a circular shape with the upper part enlarged, and the lower part is formed in a narrow shape. For this reason, at the time of releasing the fishing line, the position of the fishing line passing through the fishing line guide body shifts downward (the transition from the enlarged circular part to the narrow part gradually) as the spool diameter decreases with the amount of fishing line fed out. As a result, the contact resistance with respect to the fishing line guide body gradually increases. That is, the flying distance does not increase during the casting operation, and the falling speed gradually decreases and the arrival at a predetermined shelf is delayed when the fishing boat is dropped.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing reel that can reduce the line resistance at the line guide portion when the line is released.

  In order to achieve the above-described object, a fishing reel according to the present invention includes a spool rotatably supported between left and right side plates of a reel body, and a clutch mechanism that switches the spool between a fishing line discharge state and a fishing line winding state. And a reciprocating movement between the left and right side plates, and a wide opening in the left and right direction and a narrow fishing line guide in the left and right direction. A fishing line guide body that is movably held so that the fishing line is positioned in a narrow fishing line guide portion when the fishing line is wound, and when the fishing line is released, the fishing line guide body is And a displacement mechanism for displacing the wide opening so as to change its position.

  According to the fishing reel having the above-described configuration, the fishing line guide that is movably held is located in the wide opening in the left-right direction when the fishing line is released (clutch OFF state). The resistance is reduced, and in the fishing line winding state (clutch ON state), the fishing line is positioned in the fishing line guide portion that is narrow in the left-right direction, so that the fishing line winding state with respect to the spool can be improved. When the clutch is in the OFF state (fishing line release state), the position of the wide opening with respect to the fishing line to be inserted is changed by the displacement mechanism, so that the line from the fishing line guide body is released when the fishing line is released. It is possible to maintain a state of low resistance, and the flying distance of the device is not reduced, and the falling speed of the device is not reduced.

  In the above-described configuration, the displacement mechanism for displacing the fishing line guide body may be a mechanism that electrically displaces the fishing line guide body, such as a drive motor or an actuator, or manually by a mechanical structure. The guide body may be displaced. Further, the fishing line guide body may be configured to be coupled to the clutch mechanism (including mechanical coupling and electrical coupling) and to be interlocked with the clutch mechanism, regardless of the clutch mechanism. It may be configured to move and displace independently.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain a fishing reel capable of reducing the line resistance at the line guide portion when the line is released.

  In this embodiment, the handle 8 for rotationally driving the spool 5A is installed on the right side plate 1B side, and the rotational driving force of the handle 8 is applied to the spool shaft 5 in the space between the right frame 2b and the right cover 3b. A known power transmission mechanism 10 for transmitting to the vehicle is disposed. A known clutch mechanism 20 for switching the spool shaft 5 between a power transmission state and a power cut-off state is disposed between the right frame 2b and the right cover 3b. The clutch mechanism 20 is located behind the spool 5A. By pressing down a clutch switching operation member (hereinafter referred to as an operation member) 21 disposed between the left and right side plates on the side, the clutch is switched from the ON state (power transmission state and fishing line winding state) to the OFF state (power cutoff) State and fishing line release state).

  Between the left and right side plates 1A, 1B, a level wind device 50 is disposed on the fishing line feed direction side of the spool 5A. The level wind device 50 is configured such that a fishing line guide body 60 through which a fishing line is inserted reciprocates left and right by rotating the handle 8, and the spool 5 </ b> A is moved with respect to the spool 5 </ b> A as the fishing line is wound up. And has the function of winding the fishing line evenly.

  The drive force transmission mechanism 10 includes a drive gear 11 rotatably attached to a handle shaft 8a to which a handle 8 is fixed in association with a drag mechanism, and a pinion 12 that meshes with the drive gear 11. The pinion 12 is installed coaxially with the spool shaft 5 and is movable in the axial direction along a pinion shaft (which may be a spool shaft) 12a. A circumferential groove 12b is formed on the outer periphery of the pinion 12, and a yoke 22 of a clutch mechanism 20 described later is engaged with the circumferential groove 12b so that the pinion 12 is moved in the axial direction. It has become. That is, when the pinion 12 moves in the axial direction, the pinion 12 is connected to and disconnected from the spool shaft 5 and is switched between a power transmission state (clutch ON state) / power cutoff state (clutch OFF state).

  The clutch mechanism 20 is supported so as to be rotatable with respect to the right frame 2b, and a power transmission state (clutch ON state) shown in FIG. 3 and a power cut-off state (clutch OFF state) shown in FIG. And a clutch plate 25 that is distributed and held. The clutch plate 25 is connected to the operation member 21 through a connecting hole 2d formed in the vertical direction on the right frame 2b, and projects into the right frame 2b through a long hole 25a formed in the clutch plate 25. The pin 2e provided in this way is inserted to guide its rotational drive.

  As is well known, a pair of cam surfaces 26 that can be engaged with the yoke 22 engaged with the circumferential groove 12 a of the pinion 12 are formed on the surface of the clutch plate 25. The front end side of the yoke 22 is held by a support pin 27 protruding from the right frame 2b. The yoke is always on the side of the clutch plate 25 by a spring member (not shown) disposed on each support pin. It is in a state of being energized. FIG. 3 shows a state in which the yoke 22 shown in FIG. 1 (FIG. 2) is urged toward the clutch plate 25 by a spring member. At this time, the pinion 12 is formed at the end of the spool shaft. The clutch is engaged by being engaged with the engaging portion.

  The clutch plate 25 is rotated counterclockwise when the operation member 21 is pushed down as shown by an arrow in FIG. 3, and the pinion 12 is connected to the spool shaft via the cam surface and the yoke. The clutch is disengaged from the engaging portion formed at the end, and the clutch is switched to the OFF state as shown in FIG. This state is held by the distribution spring 23.

  The clutch plate 25 is provided with an automatic return mechanism 30 that switches the clutch from the OFF state to the ON state. The automatic return mechanism 30 includes a kick member 31 provided integrally with a clutch plate, and a ratchet 32 fixed to the handle shaft 8a. The kick member 31 changes from clutch ON to clutch OFF. When switched, as shown in FIG. 4, it is arranged and configured to enter the rotation locus of the ratchet 32. Therefore, when the handle 8 is wound up in the clutch OFF state, the kick member 31 is kicked by the rotation of the ratchet 32, and the clutch plate 25 is automatically returned to the clutch ON state, and the distribution spring 23 is recovered. It is held by the spring force. The clutch can also be returned by pushing up the operating member 21.

  The level wind device 50 is disposed between the left and right side plates on the front side of the spool 5A. The level wind device 50 allows the fishing line wound around the spool 5A to pass therethrough and reciprocates between the left and right side plates. The fishing line guide body 60 is provided. The fishing line guide body 60 is reciprocated to the left and right in the fishing line winding state (clutch ON state), and in the fishing line release state (clutch OFF state), the fishing line guide body 60 is wound around the spool 5A by the displacement mechanism 80. It is configured to be displaced (rotated) forward according to the amount of rotation.

  Hereinafter, the configuration of the level wind device 50 and the configuration of the displacement mechanism 80 will be described with reference to FIGS. In these drawings, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of the displacement mechanism portion for displacing the fishing line guide, and FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of the fishing reel shown in FIG. And FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the fishing reel shown in FIG. 1 taken along line AA. FIG. 8 is a block diagram illustrating a drive system of the fishing line guide body, and FIG. 9 is an enlarged perspective view of the fishing line guide body (clutch ON state). 10 is a front view of the fishing line guide body shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 11 is an enlarged perspective view showing the fishing line guide body (clutch OFF state), and FIG. 12 is a fishing line guide body shown in FIG. FIG.

  The level wind device 50 includes a fishing line guide body 60 through which the fishing line S wound around the spool 5A is inserted. The fishing line guide body 60 rotates between the left and right side plates via a bearing 52 (see FIG. 5). It is configured so as to be reciprocally driven left and right by a screw shaft (worm shaft) 51 supported so as to be able to rotate through the driving force transmission mechanism 10. That is, on the right frame side of the screw shaft 51, it is meshed with a connecting gear (not shown) that is disposed adjacent to the drive gear 11 mounted on the handle shaft 8a and rotates integrally with the handle shaft 8a. An input gear 53 is provided, and the screw shaft 51 is rotationally driven in synchronism with the rotational drive of the handle 8 via the connecting gear and the input gear 53.

  The screw shaft 51 is housed in a tubular body (tubular body) 55 that is rotatably held between the left and right side plates, and extends in the axial direction on the outer surface of the tubular body 55. A long hole 55a is formed, and the spiral groove 51a formed on the surface of the screw shaft 51 is partially exposed along the axial direction. Further, the fishing line guide body 60 through which the fishing line S is inserted is integrally provided with a fishing line insertion part 60A and a holding part 60B, and the holding part 60B is arranged and formed so as to surround the tubular body 55. Yes.

  The holding portion 60B holds therein a slider 61 that engages with the spiral groove 51a through the elongated hole 55a. The slider 61 is fixed to the holding portion 60B by a cap nut 62. Further, the fishing line guide body 60 does not rotate around the tubular body 55 while moving along the axial direction due to the engagement relationship between the spiral groove 51 a and the slider 61 by the rotation of the screw shaft 51. It has been prevented from rotating. In the configuration of the present embodiment, a detent portion 55b extending in the axial direction is formed on the outer periphery of the tubular body 55, and the engaging portion 64 of the holding portion 60B is provided with respect to the detent portion 55b. By engaging, it prevents rotation. Specifically, the detents 55b are configured as protrusions (a pair is provided at an interval of 180 ° as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7) on the outer periphery of the tubular body 55 in the axial direction. The engaging portion 64 is configured as a concave portion that enters such a protrusion.

  As described above, by integrally forming the anti-rotation portion 55b with the tubular body 55 that accommodates the screw shaft 51, there is no need to provide a guide shaft that prevents the fishing line guide body 60 from rotating as in the prior art. The structure of the wind device can be simplified.

  In addition, the fishing line guide body 60 of the present embodiment is configured to be rotatable in the front-rear direction in addition to being reciprocated between the left and right side plates. In this case, the fishing line guide body 60 of this embodiment is rotationally driven in the front-rear direction by the displacement mechanism 80.

Here, the configuration of the displacement mechanism 80 will be specifically described.
The displacement mechanism 80 includes a drive motor (drive unit) 81 mounted on the right frame 2b and a rotation plate mounted on the right frame 2b and rotatably supported by a portion where the screw shaft 51 is supported. 82. As shown in FIG. 5, the rotating plate 82 is rotatably held between an outer ring of a bearing 52 that rotatably supports the screw shaft 51 and the right frame 2b. A rotation plate 82 is fixed to the inner side of the right frame 2b. In other words, the rotating plate 82 is formed with convex portions 82a protruding in the radial direction (in this embodiment, a pair is formed at intervals of 180 °), and the ends of the tubular body 55 are formed on the convex portions 82a. When the recess 55c formed in the part is fitted, both are fixed on the inner surface side of the right frame 2b (a state in which the two can be integrally rotated).

  An arc-shaped connecting piece 82b is formed on the rotating plate 82 along the outer surface side of the right frame 2b. The connecting piece 82b is fixed to the output shaft 81a of the drive motor 81. A transmission gear 82c that meshes with the output gear 81b is formed.

  As a result, when the drive motor 81 is driven, the rotation plate 82 is driven to rotate within a predetermined range via the meshing relationship between the output gear 81b and the transmission gear 82c, and is integrated with the rotation plate 82. The fishing line guide body 60 is pivotally driven in the front-rear direction in front of the spool (in this embodiment, the front is the clutch OFF side and the rear is the clutch ON side) together with the tubular body 55 fixed to the front. It has become.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the drive motor 81 is driven based on a drive signal from a control unit 90 that stores a program for controlling the rotational drive of the drive motor based on the spool winding amount of the spool. In this case, in the present embodiment, the control unit 90 is supplied from a line length measuring device 92 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) that detects the amount of winding (release amount) of the fishing line wound around the spool 5A. When the winding amount signal (spool rotation information signal) is input and the clutch is turned off, the drive of the drive motor 81 is controlled based on the fishing line winding amount (fishing line release amount). Yes. The yarn length measuring device 92 includes, for example, a known magnet 92a that is rotationally driven together with the spool shaft, and a magnetic sensor 92b that detects the magnetic field of the magnet 92a. When the detection signal is input to the control unit 90, the control unit 90 controls the drive of the drive motor 81.

  In the present embodiment, the control unit 90 receives a clutch ON / OFF signal from a clutch ON / OFF detection device 94 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) that detects ON / OFF of the clutch mechanism 20. The driving of the drive motor 81 is controlled when the clutch mechanism 20 is switched from ON to OFF and when the clutch mechanism 20 is switched from OFF to ON. The clutch ON / OFF detection device 94 includes, for example, a magnet 94a mounted on the clutch plate and a magnetic sensor 94b that detects the magnetic field of the magnet 94a, as is well known, and the clutch mechanism is switched. When the detection signal from the magnetic sensor 94 b is input to the control unit 90, the control unit 90 controls the drive of the drive motor 81.

  That is, the fishing line guide body 60 of this embodiment is rotationally driven in conjunction with the clutch mechanism 20, and is rotationally driven in accordance with the amount of fishing line wound around the spool 5A when the fishing line is released when the clutch is OFF. (It is displaced so that the position of the wide opening 68 of the fishing line guide 60 changes). The yarn length measuring device 92 and the clutch ON / OFF detecting device 94 described above can be configured by an ultrasonic sensor, an optical sensor, a mechanical sensor, or the like in addition to the magnetic sensor.

  The fishing line insertion portion 60A of the fishing line guide body 60 is a portion through which the fishing line from the spool 5A is inserted, and is configured as a frame body 60F made of a material having a low fishing line resistance such as SUS or titanium. As shown, it is integrally formed with the holding portion 60B. Specifically, a fishing line guide portion 67 that has a narrow width (thin groove shape) in the left-right direction, and a wide opening 68 that expands in the left-right direction so as to be substantially symmetrical above the fishing line guide portion 67, It has. In this case, as shown in FIG. 12, the opening 68 has a substantially elliptical shape that expands in the left-right direction in a front view when viewed from the front (when viewed from the front along the inserted fishing line S). And is formed so as to be relatively wide with respect to the narrow fishing line guide portion 67. Further, both side walls of the opening 68 are inclined guide surfaces 68a that are inclined toward a fishing line guide portion 67 formed at a substantially central lower portion and guide the fishing line S.

  The frame body 60 </ b> F having the opening 68 is inclined with respect to the front-rear direction (a shape that gradually rises toward the rear side) when viewed from the side in a fishing line release state, and defines the opening 68. The wall 68b is in a state along the front-rear direction when the fishing line is released (see FIGS. 7 and 11), so that the widest possible opening can be secured. Therefore, the rear end edge 69 of the upper wall 68b along the front-rear direction defining the opening 68 is rotated with respect to the fishing line S inserted into the opening 68 when the rear edge 69 of the upper wall 68b rotates from the fishing line discharge state to the fishing line winding state. Thus, it has a positional relationship that allows contact from above, and has a function as a restricting portion that restricts the fishing line S (hereinafter, the rear end edge is referred to as a restricting portion 69).

  The restricting portion 69 is a portion integrally formed as the frame body 60F, and when viewed from the front in a state where the fishing line guide body 60 is rotated from the fishing line release state (clutch OFF) to the fishing line winding state (clutch ON). (As shown in FIG. 10, when viewed from the front along the fishing line S), it is only necessary that the arrangement relationship is within the range of the vertical length L of the fishing line guide portion 67. In other words, if the arrangement relationship is such, when the fishing line guide body 60 rotates from the fishing line release state to the fishing line winding state, the fishing line S located at any part of the opening 68 is moved to the restriction portion 69. It is possible to reliably guide the fishing line guide 67 along the inclined guide surface 68a. Moreover, if it is such a positional relationship, it can be ensured that the fishing line S is not detached from the fishing line guide portion 67 in the state of winding the fishing line.

  The fishing line guide portion 67 narrowed in the left-right direction extends in the up-down direction, prevents the fishing line S that has entered therein from shifting in the left-right direction, and stably feeds the fishing line to the spool 5A. Has the function of winding in parallel (function of improving the thread winding state).

  In the above-described configuration, both walls 67a defining the fishing line guide portion 67 extend so as to cover the upper side of the cap nut 62 that fixes the slider 61, as shown in FIGS. Preferably, such a configuration can effectively prevent the fishing line entering the fishing line guide portion 67 from being entangled with the cap nut 62. Moreover, it is preferable that the bottom surface 67c of the fishing line guide portion 67 is an inclined surface that gradually inclines downward toward the front in the state of winding the fishing line shown in FIG. That is, by adopting such a bottom surface shape, it is possible to reduce the frictional resistance with the fishing line fed out while being inclined from the spool.

Next, the operation and effect of the fishing reel configured as described above will be described.
When the operation member 21 located on the rear side of the spool 5A is pushed down in the clutch ON state shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the clutch plate 25 constituting the clutch mechanism 20 is rotated counterclockwise, and the distribution spring 23, the state shown in FIG. At this time, the cam surface formed on the surface of the clutch plate 25 shifts the yoke in the axial direction, and the pinion 12 is detached from the spool shaft 5 (clutch OFF state).

  Further, when the clutch mechanism 20 is turned off, the clutch ON / OFF detection device 94 detects this, and the control unit 90 rotationally drives the drive motor 81 when this clutch OFF signal is input. By driving the drive motor 81, the rotating plate 82 is rotationally driven through the meshing relationship between the output gear 81b and the transmission gear 82c, and together with the tubular body 55 fixed integrally to the rotating plate 82, the fishing line guide is provided. The body 60 is rotationally driven forward in front of the spool (see FIG. 7). Note that the amount of rotation 60 of the fishing line guide body may be such that the fishing line S entering the fishing line guide portion 67 is moved to the opening 68 without being restricted by the restriction portion 69. That is, when the clutch mechanism 20 is turned off, the amount of winding of the fishing line around the spool 5A is large, so that the fishing line can immediately move to the opening 68 when the restriction of the restricting part 69 is removed.

  In this state, the spool 5A is in a freely rotatable state, and the fishing line S is released. In this case, the fishing line guide body 60 is rotated in the state shown in FIGS. 7, 11, and 12 in front of the spool 5 </ b> A, and the opening 68 is formed wide in the left-right direction. Therefore, at the initial stage of fishing line discharge, contact resistance is less likely to be received from the inner surface, and the falling speed of the device is not reduced. That is, when the fishing line guide 60 is released in order to move the state of the fishing line from the narrow fishing line guide 67 to the wide opening 68 when the fishing line guide 60 is turned off in conjunction with the clutch mechanism, The discharge resistance from the fishing line guide body 60 can be reduced.

  Further, when the fishing line is released in the clutch OFF state, a signal of the amount of fishing line released (winding amount) with respect to the spool 5 </ b> A is input to the control unit 90 from the line length measuring device 92. The control unit 90 controls the drive motor 81 so that the fishing line being released does not enter the fishing line guide part 67 from the opening 68 of the fishing line guide body 60 based on the preprogrammed fishing line discharge amount information. Rotating drive. Specifically, when the fishing line is released, the winding diameter of the fishing line with respect to the spool 5A gradually decreases, and the released fishing line shifts in the direction of arrow D in FIG. 7 and enters the narrow fishing line guide portion 67. However, when it is determined by the signal from the line length measuring device 92 that the predetermined amount of fishing line feeding (the diameter of the fishing line) has been reached, the fishing line guide body 60 is further rotated forward to thereby change the fishing line. Is prevented from entering the narrow fishing line guide portion 67, and the line resistance from the fishing line guide body 60 is suppressed (so as not to increase). That is, by driving the drive motor 81 based on the signal (fishing line feed amount) from the line length measuring device 92, the fishing line guide 60 is optimally positioned according to the change in the diameter of the fishing line wound around the spool 5A. Therefore, the line resistance does not increase with the release of the fishing line.

  When the handle 8 is wound up to return the clutch mechanism 20 to ON, the automatic return mechanism 30 automatically returns the clutch plate 25 to the position shown in FIG. As the clutch plate 25 returns to the ON state, the clutch ON / OFF detection device 94 detects this, and the control unit 90 rotates the drive motor 81 in the reverse direction when the clutch ON signal is input. To drive. By the reverse drive of the drive motor 81, the rotating plate 82 is rotationally driven through the meshing relationship between the output gear 81b and the transmission gear 82c, and together with the tubular body 55 fixed integrally to the rotating plate 82, the fishing line. The guide body 60 is rotationally driven rearward in front of the spool, and is automatically returned to the initial position shown in FIG.

  At this time, the fishing line S located in any part of the opening 68 is pressed against the rotating restricting portion 69 and reliably positioned in the center along the inclined guide surface 68 a of the opening 68. Guided by the fishing line guide 67. Further, as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the fishing line S is not detached from the fishing line guide part 67 by the restricting part 69 in the fishing line winding state.

  As described above, the fishing line guide body 60 is switched in conjunction with the clutch mechanism 20 via the clutch ON / OFF detection device 94 and the drive motor 81, so that when the fishing line is released, the fishing line is immediately When moving to the opening 68 and winding the fishing line, the fishing line immediately moves to the fishing line guide section 67, thereby reducing the line resistance at the initial stage of releasing the fishing line and realizing stable winding. be able to.

When the handle 8 is wound up, the screw shaft 51 of the level wind device 50 described above is rotationally driven via a connecting gear provided on the handle shaft 8a and an input gear 53 meshing therewith. When the screw shaft 51 is driven to rotate, the fishing line guide body 60 moves left and right along the tubular body 55 via a slider 61 that engages with a spiral groove 51 a formed on the outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft 51. It is reciprocated. In this case, since the rotation prevention part 55b extended along an axial direction is formed in the outer periphery of the tubular body 55, the fishing line guide body 60 is reciprocated right and left without rotating around an axis. . As a result, the fishing line S is stably wound in parallel with the spool 5A by the fishing line guide part 67 narrowed in the left-right direction, and is further detached from the fishing line guide part 67 depending on the position of the regulation part 69. Therefore, a stable parallel winding state is always ensured.
In addition, when the winding amount of the fishing line S around the spool 5A is small, for example, when the fishing line is released in a large amount, the fishing line S positioned on the fishing line guide portion 67 may not be in contact with the regulating portion 69.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was described, this invention is not limited to above-described embodiment, It can change variously.

  In the above-described embodiment, the fishing reel in a form suitable for boat fishing has been illustrated, but it is also possible to configure as a form suitable for casting. Moreover, although the drive part of the above-mentioned fishing line guide body 60 was comprised with the drive motor, you may comprise with a solenoid, and about the displacement mechanism which displaces the fishing line guide body 60, the line length measuring apparatus 92 and clutch ON / OFF In addition to driving the drive motor by the detection signal from the detection device 94, the fishing line guide body 60 may be displaced by arbitrarily driving the drive motor by manual operation. For example, any one of the operation buttons 102 provided on the display device 100 shown in FIG. 2 is set as a drive operation button of the fishing line guide body 60, and the rotation position is manually operated by pressing it. May be.

  Further, although the fishing line guide body 60 is interlocked with the clutch mechanism 20 by the clutch ON / OFF detection device 94, the fishing line guide body 60 may be configured to move individually without being interlocked with the clutch mechanism. For example, when the clutch is OFF, the fishing line guide body 60 is driven in accordance with the amount of winding of the fishing line (detection signal from the line length measuring device 92) and the rotation direction and rotation amount (rotation information) of the spool 5A in the fishing line feeding direction. Such a configuration may be adopted. In the case where the fishing line guide body 60 is interlocked with the clutch mechanism 20, the fishing line guide body and the clutch mechanism may be mechanically connected and driven in an interlocking manner.

  Further, the shape of the above-described fishing line guide body 60 can be appropriately modified. For example, the opening 68 can be appropriately modified such as a substantially triangular shape, a substantially circular shape, or a vertically long shape, and the restricting portion 69 may not be formed. In addition, the fishing line guide body 60 may be attached to a portion that contacts the fishing line with a member (fishing line contact member) having wear resistance and low sliding resistance. By attaching such a fishing line contact member, even if the fishing line comes into contact with the fishing line when it is released or taken up, it can be prevented from breaking and the contact resistance can be further reduced.

  Further, the fishing line guide body 60 may be configured to be rotated forward in the clutch ON state. In this case, when the fishing line guide body 60 is rotated, a protrusion extending in the axial direction is provided on the outer periphery of the tubular body 55 to prevent the rotation, but the edge 55e of the elongated hole 55a formed in the tubular body 55 is used. You may make it stop.
