BAIT CAST CONTROL FISHING REEL

摘要

The fishing reel includes a frame, a spool rotatably coupled to the frame, a sensor coupled to the frame, a microprocessor coupled to the sensor and a braking mechanism coupled to the frame. The sensor is configured to generate spool rotation signals representing rotation of the spool over time. The microprocessor is configured to compare the spool rotation signals to identify a peak time at which the spool has a maximum rotational velocity and to generate a braking signal after the peak time has been identified. The braking mechanism is configured to apply a braking force to the spool to slow rotation of the spool in response to the braking signal from the microprocessor. The braking mechanism preferably includes at least one magnet having a magnetic field coupled to a first one of the frame and the spool, at least one electroconductive member coupled to a second one of the frame and the spool within the magnetic field, and at least one electrical resistor coupled to said at least one electroconductive member. The electrical resistor has a resistance such that relative movement of said at least one magnet and said of at least one electroconductive member is retarded. The resistor preferably comprises an electrical component wherein rotation of the spool electrically powers the electrical component.
