ABSTRACT:
In a spinning-style fishing reel, a front cover for the reel includes a conical portion having a line guide and an inner bearing or contact surface. The inner contact surface in turn includes a series of raised portions or ribs separated by recessed channels, with the ribs and channels extending between inner and outer peripheral boundaries and encircling a collar surface adjacent the line guide. As a fishing line is cast from the reel, the fishing line contacts substantially only the raised portions or ribs which are disposed transversely to the outgoing fishing line. The line contact with only the facing edges of the ribs prevents grabbing and adhering of the line with the inside front cover permitting better and longer casts. Water and debris which may be carried by the fishing line may be scraped off the line by the ribs and collect in the recessed channels away from the line, likewise reducing drag on the outgoing fishing line and improving casting efficiency. The ribs and channels may assume a fan-like appearance, and may be manufactured simultaneously with the front cover, resulting in an inexpensive and reliable apparatus for reducing drag during casting of the fishing line.
