ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel is provided having a frame, a rotor mounted to the frame for rotation about a first axis, a line storage spool, a structure for rotating the spool, a bail assembly on the rotor having first and second bail arms mounted to the rotor for pivoting movement between a first position wherein the bail assembly is in (a) a retrieve position so that the bail directs line onto the line storage spool as the rotor is rotated and (b) a second position wherein the bail assembly is in a cast position, a trip link mounted to the rotor for movement relative to the rotor between third and fourth positions, cooperating structure on the bail assembly and trip link for moving the trip link from its third position into its fourth position as an incident of the bail assembly moving from its first position into its second position, and a trip link actuator on the reel frame and defining a shoulder that intercepts the trip link with the trip link in its fourth position and the rotor rotating in a first rotational direction about its axis and moves the trip link from its fourth position towards its third position. The cooperating structure on the bail assembly and trip link includes a structure for moving the bail assembly from its cast position towards its retrieve position as an incident of the trip link moving from its fourth position into its third position. The trip link structure allows repositioning of the trip link relative to the rotor in the event that the trip link encounters the trip link actuator as the trip link moves from its third position towards its fourth position to thereby prevent jamming of the trip link by the trip link actuator and allow the trip link to move fully into its fourth position.
