ABSTRACT:
A bait casting reel has a clutch mechanism in one side of the reel body. A frame member is securedly fixed across the side reel plates at the back of the reel and includes a slideway in which is slideably mounted a thumb-operated push button. The thumb button is mechanically connected to the clutch mechanism so that, when depressed, the thumb button disengages the clutch for free spool operation. The frame in which the thumb button is mounted provides strength and rigidity to the reel, and the thumb button enables convenient thumb operation while holding a fishing rod.
