The spinning reel considered in this study uses a face gear system. One of the advantages of a face gear system is that it offers good rotational tactile sensation. However, these systems have a high propensity for assembly errors. If the reel experiences an assembly error, vibration based on the gear-pair engagement occurs when the handle of the reel rotates. The vibration is transmitted to the angler’s finger via the handle. When the vibration is large, the angler feels discomfort, which ultimately has a large influence on the fishing reel sensation. Therefore, reducing gear vibration is our most important objective. It was previously reported that when the tooth flank of the face gear is shaped according to a transmission-error-controlled curve, the reel exhibits robustness against the influence of assembly errors. The report indicated that there is a relationship between the fishing reel sensation and the amplitude of transmission error. However, it did not indicate a relationship between the fishing reel sensation and the waveform of transmission error. Moreover, the amount and width of tooth-flank modification were not optimized in the previous studies.
