Or if necessary to change the "1.3 m" has occurred, after switching the digital display unit 81 to push operating the mode change switch 101 as winding automatic stopping position change mode FIG 7, the upper control panel 57 To change the display on the digital display unit 81 to "1.9 meters" by pushing the stop position setting switch 97 provided on the digital camera, or to push the stop position setting switch 99 to display "1" on the digital display unit 81. If the mode change switch 101 is pushed again, the storage unit 109 stores the changed automatic winding stop position.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 117 denotes a connector 119.
The power cord 117 is connected to the reel main body 1 via a power switch.
Is pushed, the spool motor 17 and the control device 67 are activated. Also, in FIG.
21 is a well-known level winder mechanism.

In this embodiment, the main switch 95 is pushed to operate the spool motor 17 and the clutch motor 4 when fishing.
7. After activating the control device 67 and the like, first, if the optimum take-in position for the angler 115 is "1.6 m" in accordance with the above-described procedure, the numerical value is set to the mode change switch 101 or the stop position setting. The setting is input and stored in the storage unit 109 by a push operation of the switches 97 and 99 and the like.

When the motor drive switch 59 is pushed, as shown in FIG.

Since the spool 7 is in a free state, the fishing line 9 is paid out from the spool 7 by the weight of the device 111, and the rotation of the spool 7 is controlled by the encoder 79 to a pulse corresponding to the feeding length of the fishing line 9. input to the control device 67 is converted, is calculated, feeding yarn length based on the calculation result that is displayed on the digital display 81. And for example
Measuring the feeding line length of fishing line using the line winding surface pressing roller
Compared with the case of using a conventionally known contact-type yarn length measuring device.
However, in the present embodiment, when detecting the rotation speed of the spool 7,
Or the resistance to the rotation of the spool 7 as in the pressure roller.
Since there is no means for giving, the spool 7 rotates smoothly and
The yarn 9 is smoothly fed out.

Therefore, the angler 115 may push the motor drive switch 59 again at a predetermined shelf position (eg, "190 m") while watching the display. Then, the clutch motor 47 rotates in the direction of arrow D as shown in FIG. 2 in response to a command from the control device 67, and the clutch operating plate 37 moves in the direction of arrow B accordingly. Is turned ON by the magnet 61, and the clutch motor 47 is stopped by a command from the control device 67 that has input the signal.

In this state, the motor drive switch 59 and the O
The feeding and winding of the fishing line 9 are repeated several times by the ON / OFF operation of the N / OFF switch 89 to wait for the fish hit.
If the ON / OFF switch 89 is pushed when a fish hits, the spool 7 is rotated by the motor output of the adjustment lever 83 at the current position, and the fishing line 9 is automatically wound. Thus, in this case
However, if a conventional contact type yarn length measuring device is used,
The rotation of the spool 7 is smoother than in the
Winding is smooth.

If the angler wants to slowly wind the fishing line 9 while checking the indicator 87, he operates the adjusting lever 83 so that the scale of the bar display amount of the indicator 87 becomes "20", for example. If the fish is strong and the harness is strong, operate the adjusting lever 83 according to the winding condition, such as operating the adjusting lever 83 so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes "80". If the output of the motor 17 is controlled, the fishing line 9 can be wound at the optimum motor speed for winding. Then, the feeding amount of the fishing line 9 is stored in the storage unit 1.
When the winding automatic stop position "1.6 m" stored in the storage position 09 is reached, the control means 67 stops the spool motor 17 based on a signal from the encoder 79 for measuring the line length. It stops automatically at 1.6 meters below 113.

Accordingly, if the angler 115 brings the device 111 at hand as shown in FIG. 10, the fish caught at the optimum catching position can be removed from the needle. To continue fishing, push the motor drive switch 59 again to turn off the clutch, pull out the fishing line 9, and repeat the same procedure as described below. The automatic stop position is set to, for example, "1.6
If it is necessary to change from “meters” to “1.9 meters”, as described above, the mode change switch 101
To switch the digital display unit 81 to the automatic winding stop position change mode as shown in FIG. 7, and then push the stop position setting switch 97 to operate the digital display unit 8.
If the display of No. 1 is changed to “1.9 meters” and the mode change switch 101 is pushed again, the storage unit 109
The changed automatic winding stop position "1.9 meters" is stored in the storage area.

Therefore, in this case, when the feeding amount of the fishing line 9 reaches the automatic winding stop position "1.9 meters", the winding of the fishing line 9 automatically stops at 1.9 meters below the water surface 113. .

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the rotation of the spool 7 is automatically stopped when the fishing line 9 is wound up to a predetermined winding automatic stop position, similarly to the conventional electric fishing reel. This embodiment differs from the conventional electric fishing reel in that the angler 11
