ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to fishing reels of the type having a crank-operated rotor supporting a bail pivotable thereon between a position for winding up the fishing line on the line spool and an open position for permitting the fishing line to run out from the spool which is now rotating during casting, the bail being pivotable manually by finger operation of an operating arm pivotably supported on the rotor and connected to the bail for pivoting the latter from its line winding position into the open position thereof for casting. To facilitate this finger operation the operating arm is pivotably movable in a plane parallel to the rotor axis about a pivot axis substantially perpendicular to the rotor axis and is connected to the bail for pivoting the latter into said open position through an intermediate link actuatable by said operating arm for actuating said bail, said link and said operating arm having cooperating guiding and engaging means for pulling the link rearwards in parallel with the rotor axis when the operating arm is pivoted in a direction radially of the rotor; and in that, on the one hand, a radius from the pivot axis of one end of the bail relative to the rotor to the pivot axis of the link relative to this bail end and, on the other hand, the path of movement of the guiding and engaging means carried by said operating arm form an obtuse angle relative to one another.
