ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel has a crank assembly for winding the reel with a member or arm connected at one end thereof for rotation with the crank. The other end of the arm has a rotatable shaft affixed thereto with a pivoting handle unit affixed at the other end of the shaft. The handle unit includes a sleeve affixed to the end of the shaft with a handle pivotally mounted to the sleeve. The handle has a center axis passing longitudinally therethrough and the shaft has a center axis passing longitudinally therethrough. The angle between the axes is about 90.degree. in a first end position and about 115.degree. in a second end position. A padded cover is disposed about the handle and is secured thereon by end caps. It will be appreciated that one end of the shaft could extend be pivotally connected to the handle in the same manner the sleeve was connected to the handle, thereby eliminating the sleeve. In a preferred embodiment, the assembly comprising the arm, the shaft and the handle is readily replaceable with the corresponding assembly on a standard reel. In other words neither the reel nor the crank require any modification to employ the assembly of the present invention.
