Abstract

A fishing reel includes a spool capable of winding a fishing line, a detector capable of detecting the rotation amount of the spool, a storage that records the rotation amount of the spool as a detection result, and a transmitter that transmits the detection result to the outside, and is configured to select the casting mode when the detection result of the rotation amount of the spool is equal to or greater than a first threshold, and to select the drop mode when the detection result of the rotation amount of the spool is less than the first threshold.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A mode management system, having a fishing reel comprising a spool configured to wind a fishing line, an operation portion configured to rotate the spool, a clutch configured to switch from the power transmissible mode to the power non-transmissible mode and vice versa between the operation portion and the spool, a rotation detector configured to detect the rotation of the spool, a casting preparation commencement detector configured to detect a preparation for casting, a casting completion detector configured to detect a completion of casting, and a sender configured to send a detection result of the rotation of the spool; and
an external information communication terminal comprising a receiver configured to receive the detection result from the fishing reel, and a history data generator configured to generate a historical data from the preparation for casting to the completion of casting.

2 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 1 , wherein the receiver is configured to receive a detection result of the preparation for casting by the casting completion detector and a detection result of the completion of casting by the casting completion detector.

3 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 1 , wherein the external information communication terminal further comprises a storage, the storage being configured to store the historical data.

4 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 1 , wherein the external information communication terminal further comprises a display portion, the display portion being configured to display the historical data.

5 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 1 , wherein the external information communication terminal further comprises an output portion, the output portion being configured to output the historical data.

6 . A mode management system, having a fishing reel comprising a spool configured to wind a fishing line, a detector configured to detect a rotation amount of the spool, a storage configured to record the rotation amount of the spool as a historical data, and a transmitter configured to transmit the historical data to the outside, wherein the casting mode is selected when the rotation amount of the spool of the historical data is equal to or greater than a first threshold, and the drop mode is selected when the rotation amount of the spool of the historical data is less than the first threshold; and
an outside information processing device comprising a receiver configured to receive the historical data, and an output portion configured to output the historical data.

7 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 6 , wherein the information processing device is a portable device.

8 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 6 , wherein the historical data is a time series data.

9 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 6 , wherein transmission from the transmitter to the outside is disabled in the casting mode.

10 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 6 , wherein transmission from the transmitter to the outside is enabled in the drop mode.

11 . The mode management system of the fishing reel according to claim 6 , wherein the storage records a detection result of the rotation amount of the spool at every predetermined sampling time, and the sampling time in the casting mode is shorter than that in the drop mode.
