A fishing reel has a reel unit that is mounted on the fishing rod, a spool
that is rotatably attached to the reel unit, a tension detector that
detects tension applied to the said fishing line, and a communication
portion that transmits to a fishing information display apparatus data of
the tension applied to the fishing line detected by the tension detector.
The fishing information display apparatus is provided externally of a
fishing reel, and receives data communicated from the fishing reel. The
fishing information display apparatus includes a body member, a display
portion provided in the body member, a communication portion that
receives from the fishing reel data of the tension applied to the fishing
line, and a controller that is displays on the display portion the data
of tension received from the fishing reel. A navigator away from an
angler can certainly have information of the fishing situation.
