ABSTRACT:
A line length measuring device for a fishing reel to measure the fishing line amount let out or wound based on the number of spool revolutions and has as an object the line length measurement regardless of the length of the fishing line. The present invention comprises a reel, a spool which is rotatably supported by the reel and onto which the fishing line is wound, a sensor to detect the revolutions of the spool, an up-down counter to count up or down the pulse signal output from the sensor, a specified level counter to count the number of spool revolutions when the fishing line is wound up to the specified winding level smaller than the maximum winding diameter of the fishing line for the spool and the total number of spool revolutions corresponding to the total length of the wound line using the up-down counter, a microcomputer to store the counted values, the microcomputer also to determine the line length based on the line length formula obtained from the number of spool rotations up to the above specified winding level and the total number of spool revolutions corresponding to the total length of the wound line as well as on the actual number of spool revolutions during letting out and winding of the fishing line, and an indication unit to indicate the line length determined by the microcomputer.
