Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a measuring device for measuring the length of a fishing line unwound from a spool, and a measuring device for measuring the length of a fishing line measured by the measuring device. The present invention relates to an improvement in a fishing reel provided with a notifying means for notifying a value. 2. Description of the Related Art A fishing reel constructed as described above is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. HEI 1-155206. In this conventional example, a fishing reel for notifying the amount of fishing line fed from a spool is disclosed. The display device includes a first display unit, a storage unit that stores an amount of payout of the fishing line from the spool, and a second display unit that notifies a value stored in the storage unit. In the conventional example, the value stored in the storage unit can be grasped through the second display unit. Therefore, when the device is re-entered, the device is lowered to the depth indicated by the second display section, thereby having a favorable surface in which it is easy to generate a hit and the fishing result can be improved. In the above-mentioned conventional example, the device is held at a predetermined depth for a few seconds or the depth of the device is stored in a storage unit such as a memory by a switch operation. Furthermore, for example, when fishing for fish inhabiting near the seabed, or when lowering a device on a shelf near the seabed, it is referred to as a bottom thing etc. In addition, it is often desired to simultaneously grasp the depth of the seabed, and reels provided with a third display unit in addition to the above-described second display unit are also commercially available. [0004] However, there is no reel that stores a plurality of fishing line payout amounts at desired timing in the fishing line payout state and displays them on the first display unit and the second display unit, respectively. There is a need for a fishing reel that stores and informs a value desired by an angler. An object of the present invention is to store a plurality of types of depths of a work in progress, and to rationally configure a fishing reel capable of fishing based on the stored depths. As described at the outset, the features of the present invention are as follows: measuring means (35) for measuring the length of a fishing line (4) unwound from a spool (5); and A fishing reel provided with a notifying means (36) for notifying a value of the length of the fishing line (4) measured by the measuring means (35), wherein a plurality of display portions (37), (38), A switch mechanism (SW) capable of performing a typical selection operation, and a storage means (42) capable of holding a plurality of values, and the measurement is performed by the measurement means (35) when the switch mechanism (SW) is selected. The length value of the fishing line (4) is stored in the storage means (4
2) and store this value in the switch mechanism (S
A control means (A ) for displaying on the display units (37) and (38) selected in ( W) and a fishing line (4) measured by the measuring means (35) when a predetermined time or more has elapsed. The value of the feeding amount is stored in the storage means (42), and
This value is displayed on at least one of the display units (37) and (38), and an operation of selecting the display unit (37) and (38) in this display state is performed by a switch mechanism (SW). In this case, the value of the feed amount of the fishing line (4) measured by the measuring means (35) is stored in the storage means (42) in place of the displayed value, and this value is selected by the selected The control operation of the control means (A) is set so as to be displayed on the display units (37) and (38). The operation and effect are as follows. According to the present invention , for example, when fishing is performed by lowering a device to the depth of a shelf near the seabed in boat fishing, after the device is inserted, the fishing line is kept until the device reaches the bottom. When the switch mechanism is selected and operated when the switch mechanism is operated, the feed amount of fishing line (depth of the mechanism) at the time of operation of the switch mechanism is held in the storage means corresponding to the selection, and this operation is performed. Displayed on the display corresponding to the selection,
Thereafter, the mechanism is pulled up by winding the fishing line, and the depth notified by the notifying means, when the mechanism reaches the depth or the like indicated by the head of the boat, by performing a selection operation different from the selection, the switch mechanism, The feeding amount of the fishing line (depth of work) when the switch mechanism is operated is stored in the storage means corresponding to the selection, and is displayed on the display unit corresponding to the selection. In this state, the depth of the seabed is displayed on one of the plurality of display units, and the depth of the shelf specified by the boatman is displayed on another one of the display units. Based on the value displayed on the and the value reported by the reporting means, it is possible to adjust the depth of the in-process while grasping the relative depth difference between the sea floor and the shelf, and to find the depth at which you can feel the attack Further, by operating the switch mechanism at the timing when the user feels the hit, the depth is displayed on the display unit. By determining the in-process depth based on the value, the in-process can be set to the most appropriate depth. In other words, in the present invention, a plurality of values of a desired depth can be held and displayed by operating the switch mechanism, so that the depth can be quickly held without waiting for elapse of time as in the conventional example, and the display can be performed. As a result, the angler can easily determine the depth of the device based on the plurality of display values and improve the fishing results. Furthermore, priority is given to the value held over time
To store the value at the time of operating the switch mechanism in the storage means.

Become. [0010] Accordingly, a plurality of types of depths of the in-process are stored, and based on the stored depths, the in-process is set to the most appropriate depth, so that efficient fishing can be performed. The fishing reel was reasonably constructed. Further, in the case where the switch mechanism is provided with a plurality of switch mechanisms, erroneous operation is eliminated, and in the case where the value at the time of operating the switch mechanism is stored in the storage means in preference to the value held based on the passage of time, the angler forgets the operation. In this case, the value can be maintained without deteriorating the good surface, and the value at the time of operating the switch mechanism can be retained with priority, so that it can respond immediately to shelf change and further improve the fishing results with each The effect is brought about.
