ABSTRACT:
A closed-face type reel has a fishing line latching and releasing mechanism comprising a line pickup member radially movably mounted on a rotor and having a pickup pin movable out of and retractable into a hole defined in a peripheral wall of the rotor for latching and releasing a fishing line to wind up and reel out the same, respectively. The pickup member also includes a tongue engageable with a sleeve mounted on a rotatable and axially movable shaft and normally urged into engagement with the sleeve under the force of a spring acting between the pickup member and the peripheral wall. When the tongue engages the sleeve, the pickup pin projects out of the hole to latch the fishing line. When the tongue disengages from the sleeve, the pickup pin is retracted into the hole to release the fishing line. The pickup member further includes a back portion and a locking portion slidably and removably fitted respectively in a guide hole and a guide slot defined in a sidewall of the rotor. The pickup member can easily be removed from the cover for replacement or repair.
