ABSTRACT:
In a flycasting reel for use upon a fly rod, a pair of large diameter closely spaced apart reel heads or disc members are joined by a single common shaft extending between the disc members for enabling simultaneous rotational movement thereof with the shaft being a centrally located axial shaft. Only one of the disc members is rotatably mounted in a circumferential housing which housing includes means for mounting the reel to the fly rod. The axial shaft has a relatively small diameter compared to the disc diameter for enabling take-up and play-out of a slack line therefrom. The housing includes means for selectively enabling free rotatable movement of the disc members to fly cast the slack line.
