ABSTRACT:
A closed face spinning reel is suspended below a fishing rod. The reel has a finger brake lever that causes the spinner head to move from the winding position to the precasting and casting position by lifting up on the finger lever. The finger lever arm is made in two parts, one metal and the other molded plastic, which parts are assembled by inserting the metal part in the plastic part while the plastic part is warm from the mold so that the plastic shrinks around the metal. A resilient element in the plastic part cooperates with a mating surface on the body of the reel to hold the lever against a stop preventing rattling when the lever is not held and returning the lever to a uniform released position.
