Abstract
A fishline tension measuring device for use in a fishing reel which is simple in structure, easy to assemble, and provides a high strength against shock. Strain gauges are mounted on bodies assembled into the spool drive gear train, to detect strain caused by tension on the fishline. In the fishline tension measuring device, at least one of the bearings for supporting the two ends of a spool shaft is supported by a bearing support member, which may be formed integrally with a reel main body and can be strained according to loading forces applied to the spool shaft when tension is given to a fishline, and one or more strain gauges for measuring the tension given to the fishline are mounted on the bearing support member.
