ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel having a frame, a line carrying spool, first structure for mounting the line carrying spool to the frame for rotation about a first axis, and a reel operating mechanism that is placeable selectively in a) a cast state and b) a retrieve state. The reel operating mechanism includes a crank handle with a crank shaft and second structure responsive to operation of the crank handle for a) rotating the line carrying spool around the first axis to retrieve line onto the spool with the reel operating mechanism in a retrieve state and b) changing the reel operating mechanism from the cast state into the retrieve state. The second structure includes a slider that is movable relative to the frame between a first position with the reel operating mechanism in the retrieve state and a second position with the reel operating mechanism in the cast state. Third structure on the frame disengages the second structure to allow the line carrying spool to be rotated without operating the crank handle as an incident of the slider moving from its first position into its second position. Fourth structure cooperates between the slider and at least one of the frame and crank shaft for releasably maintaining the slider in the second position and for allowing the slider to be moved from the second position into the first position as an incident of the crank handle being operated. The fourth structure includes a kick lever and fifth structure cooperating between the kick lever and slider for both guiding relative pivoting movement between the kick lever and slider about a second axis and allowing limited movement of the kick lever relative to the slider in a path transversely to the second axis.
