ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel having a frame with first and second laterally spaced parts with a line storage space therebetween, and an operating mechanism on the frame. The operating mechanism includes a rotatable line carrying spool, a rotatable crank element, and a drive connection between the crank element and spool. The drive connection includes a first element that is selectively repositionable between a) an engaged position wherein the operating mechanism is in a retrieve state in which the drive connection transmits a rotative force from the crank element through the drive connection to the spool and b) a disengaged position wherein the drive connection is disengaged and the operating mechanism is in a cast state in which the spool is freely rotatable to allow line to pay off of the spool. The operating mechanism may further include a cam element on one of the frame parts that is repositionable relative to one frame part from a first position into a second position as an incident of which the cam element causes the first element to move from the engaged position to the disengaged position. The operating mechanism may further include an actuator mounted to the frame for guided movement relative to the frame from a first position into a second position. The operating mechanism may further include first structure between the cam element and actuator for causing the cam element to move from its first position into its second position as an incident of the actuator moving from its first position into its second position, whereupon the operating mechanism is changed from the retrieve state into the cast state. The first cooperating structure connects the cam element substantially fixedly to the actuator.
