ABSTRACT:
Downrigger for trolling having a reel mounted for rotation for winding a line thereonto, and unwinding line therefrom. Downrigger has brake means which permits control of rotation of the reel with one hand only to leave the other hand free for trolling rod. The brake means brakes the reel against rotation when engaged and permits free wheeling of the reel when disengaged. A cam means cooperates with the reel and has a cam surface and a cam follower cooperating with each other so that a particular relative movement between the cam surface and the cam follower actuates the cam means to engage the brake means. Brake means can be cocked so that rotation of the reel in a direction to unwind the line actuates cam means which then engages the brake means to prevent accidental unwinding, but still permits winding in of the line when required.
