ABSTRACT:
A spinning reel is provided with a line tension display unit including a display which may be either of analog or digital form. The reel includes a spool shaft for mounting of the spool, the reel body being provided with the line tension/display unit which includes a member swingable about the spool shaft and operatively connected to the spool shaft for swinging movement in response to tension in the line. A torsion spring resists such swinging movement. The swingable member causes the display to indicate the tension value. In analog form, the swingable member provides a pointer for showing line tension on a scale. In digital form, the display includes LED's or LCD's for display of discrete tension values. In one digital version, a microprocessor is used to drive the line tension display and to provide also time-of-day, stopwatch, alarm and line-breakage-warning functions.
