ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a fishing reel for mounting on a fishing rod, said reel comprising a foot, a spool for winding the line and a support attached to said foot, an elastic return member and a control device for the spool, the paying out of the line being done by casting from one side of the spool whose axis is parallel to the fishing rod during this casting operation and in which automatic clamping of the line is effected by rotation of the spool support under the effect of the elastic force of said return member constituted notably in the form of a tension spring and which is fixed on the one hand to the spool support and on the other hand to said foot, said control device being of the lever type and clamping said spool in casting position and causing, on its actuation, the sudden pivoting through 90.degree. of the axis of the spool relative to said foot thereby bringing said spool into a position perpendicular to the axis of the fishing rod, said reel comprising in addition devices for causing the stacking of the line on the spool during its rewinding associated with the return device and/or the spool and effecting simultaneously the clamping in position of the spool relative to said foot. Said devices for causng the stacking of the line on the spool are constituted by at least one lever with a rigid pin engaging in at least one housing opening whose configuration and dimensions ensure fixing of the pin with a maximum predetermined and limited play.
