ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel having a frame, a rotor mounted to the frame for rotation about an axis, a line storage spool, structure for rotating the rotor, structure on the rotor for directing line onto the line storage spool as an incident of the rotor being rotated about its axis and including a bail assembly having first and second bail arms mounted to the rotor for pivotable movement between (a) a first position wherein the bail assembly is in a retrieve position and (b) a second position wherein the bail assembly is in a cast position, a bail actuator connected to at least one of the frame and rotor for movement between (a) a first position wherein the bail assembly is in a retrieve position and (b) a second position wherein the bail assembly is in a cast position, a bail actuator connected to at least one of the frame and rotor for movement between rest and operating positions, cooperating structure between the bail actuator and bail assembly for movement of the bail assembly from its retrieve position into its cast position as an incident of the bail actuator moving from its rest position into its operating position, and line holding structure for selectively preventing line from freely paying off of the line storage spool with the bail assembly in a cast position. The line holding structure includes a third arm pivotably attached to the rotor for movement between third and fourth positions and a fourth arm pivotably attached to the third arm. At least one of the third and fourth arms is engageable with line projecting off of the spool with the bail assembly in a cast position to thereby prevent line from freely paying off of the line storage spool.
