ABSTRACT:
An improved spincast fishing reel includes a feathering assembly attached to the fishing reel rotor. The feathering assembly includes a plurality of line engaging members in the form of fibers or bristles angularly extending outwardly from the rotor into the space between the reel housing and the rotor. Each of these bristles present a surface which interferingly contacts the fishing line and are deflected by contact with the fishing line. When the line is cast, the fibers or bristles are moved into this contact with the line by actuation of the pushbutton on the reel. When so contacted, a feathering action is effected on the fishing line which may be selectively controlled by actuation of the thumb button.
