The present invention provides a component of a fishing reel that make it possible to achieve precise finished dimensions and improve the efficiency of the entire surface treatment while maintaining a bright and substantial external appearance with a metallic feeling and corrosion resistance. The component of a fishing reel according to the present invention is formed of a die-cast material and includes: a first surface treatment region including a coating layer and an anodic oxide film, the coating layer being formed on the die-cast material and formed of aluminum with a higher aluminum purity than the die-cast material, the anodic oxide film being formed on the coating layer; and a second surface treatment region including an anodic oxide film formed on the die-cast material.

Component of fishing reel

Fishing reel components and a manufacturing method thereof that achieve not only highly accurate finishing dimensions, but also a deep and glossy metallic appearance while maintaining sufficient corrosion resistance at a precision finishing portion that rotatably supports a drive member, and that can increase the work efficiently of the entire surface treatment. The fishing reel components include a body member having a coating layer formed of higher-purity aluminum than that of the die-cast material on the die-cast material; and the anticorrosion layer formed by anodization on the coating layer. The body member is provided with the support portion that rotatably supports a drive member. The support portion independent from the body member is formed by the support member having a higher corrosion resistance than the die-cast material of the body member.

Fishing reel components and method of manufacturing the same

One object is to provide a gear to be included in a fishing reel to produce excellent rotation feeling while reducing the weight relative to the strength. In accordance with one aspect, a drive gear included in a fishing reel is formed of a circumferential part having tooth surfaces and a body part radially inside the circumferential part which are made of different materials and integrated together. These materials satisfy the following conditions: S&#x3e;S, P&#x3e;P, and F&#x3c;F, where Sand Srepresent material strengths, Pand Prepresent material densities (specific gravities), and Fand Frepresent vibration damping capacities for the circumferential part and the body part, respectively.
