The gear system is the core of the fishing reel transmission, and the material of the gear directly affects its wear resistance and performance. Common gear materials include aluminum alloys, forged stainless steel, and titanium alloys. Aluminum alloys are lightweight and have good stiffness, forged stainless steel offers higher wear resistance, and titanium alloys combine the advantages of light weight and high strength.

Gear ratio:

The gear ratio refers to the ratio of the number of teeth between the driving gear and the driven gear, which directly determines the linear speed and pulling force of the fishing wheel. A high gear ratio usually means faster line speed, while a low gear ratio provides more pulling power. Some advanced fishing reels may have an adjustable gear ratio feature to adapt them to different fishing scenarios.

Gear system layout:

Gear system layouts include single gear and multi-gear systems. Multi-gear systems usually include main gears, driving gears and transmission gears, etc., and different gear ratios are achieved through the combination of gears of different sizes. This design improves the smoothness and efficiency of the gear system while sharing the driving force.

Cutting accuracy:

The cutting accuracy of gears directly affects the working efficiency and stability of the gear system. High-end fishing reels usually use mechanical processing or CNC cutting technology to ensure high precision and smoothness of the gears. This helps reduce friction between gears and improve transmission efficiency.

Gear lubrication:

Good lubrication is key to keeping gear systems functioning properly. Gear systems often use high-performance grease to reduce friction and wear between gears. Some premium models may have an adjustable lubrication system, allowing the user to adjust it based on usage conditions and needs.

Anti-wear coating:

Some advanced gears may have special anti-wear coatings such as tungsten or ceramic coatings. These coatings can significantly improve the wear resistance of gears and extend their service life, especially under high loads and frequent use.
