ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel is disclosed wherein the spool thereof is rotatably and longitudinally slidable on a shaft rotatable via the handle used to rewind the reel. The spool is hollow and engages the shaft via a portion having radial teeth formed on both sides thereof and positioned between a driver fixed on the shaft and a gear rotatably mounted on the shaft and coupled thereto via a gear train such that the gear rotates about the axis of the shaft at a rate differing from the rotation rate of the shaft. A push rod connected to the handle extends through the shaft and is rotatably connected to the spool for longitudinally positioning the spool on the shaft so as to engage the toothed portion thereof with teeth on the driver or with teeth on the gear to provide the reel with a multi-speed capability. The reel is pivotally mounted on a fishing rod via an extension pivotally connected to a bracket supporting the body of the reel so that the axis of the shaft can be aligned in a parallel relation with the rod for casting or in a transverse relation for rewinding. A latch on the bracket engages slots in the extension to fix the position of the reel with respect to the rod and the slot engaged by the latch in the casting position of the rod is deeper than other slots so that the latch undergoes a greater pivotation when the reel is positioned for casting than when the reel is positioned for rewinding. A brake pad on the latch is positioned to engage the spool when the pivotation of the latch corresponds to engagement of the latch with the deeper slot so that the spool does not rotate during casting.
