ABSTRACT:
An antibacklashing fishing reel having an electronically variable brake for preventing backlash. A spool holds and releases a length of fishing line. An electronically variable brake is coupled with the spool for applying a variable braking force to resist rotation of the spool during casting to prevent the spool from overrunning the length of fishing line being released from the spool. An overrun status of the length of fishing line being released from the spool is determined, and a status signal dependent thereon is generated. A controller receives the status signal and controls the electronically variable brake to apply the variable braking force to resist rotation of the spool during casting so that a progressively greater braking force is applied when the overrun status indicates that the spool is overrunning the length of fishing line being released. The progressively greater braking force is applied until the overrun status indicated that the spool is not overrunning the length of fishing line, thus preventing the spool from overrunning the length of fishing line being released from the spool during casting.
