ABSTRACT:
An antibacklashing fishing reel. A spool holds and releases a length of fishing line. An overrun condition of the fishing line being released from the spool is determined by a line motion sensor. The line motion sensor includes a rotatable member rotatable in response to movement of the fishing line during a cast and a sensor for sensing the rotation of the rotatable member. The sensor generates the line motion signal depending on the sensed rotation of the rotatable member. An electronically variable brake is controlled depending on the line motion signal for applying a variable braking force to resist rotation of the spool in response to the determined overrun condition of the fishing line being released from the spool. When the line motion signal indicates that the line is being played out from the spool slower than the spool is releasing it, an overrun condition is determined and the spool is braked to prevent the occurrence of a backlash. The overrun condition may also be determined a variable electrical resistance mechanism for determining the electronic status signal having a value dependent on the tension of the line being release from the spool. The braking of the spool is controlled so that a variable braking force is applied depending on the sensed line tension as determined by the variable electrical resistance mechanism.
