Abstract
A fishing reel that employs a non-contact line sensor to capture images of the backlash zone of a baitcast fishing reel, together with image analysis and feedback to a direct contact spool brake, with the result of gradual to near-instantaneously halting spool rotation, thereby decreasing or preventing backlash under all fishing conditions while maximizing cast distance.
