ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention concerns the fishing reel sector and more particularly reels used for fly-fishing.
The latter consist of a body and line winder fixed to them, that rotates on the inside along an axis perpendicular to the axis of the fishing rod, equipped with a handle for actuation.
This type of fishing reel is used virtually only to re-wind the line when no traction is exerted on it, which means that, either due to the lack of an adjustable clutch or due to the intrinsic slowness of retrieval, the angler is obliged to retrieve the line manually after hooking a fish, supporting the coils on the ground next to his feet, which has disadvantages such as the risk of treading on the line, tangling it or the line itself becoming entangled on bushes, rocks or other uneven surfaces. Hooking a fish manually is often problematic.
To avoid these disadvantages, the inventor of the present invention has designed a novel fishing reel for fly-fishing.
With this fishing reel, the line retrieval speed is increased by the introduction of a gear transmission between the handle and the line winder.
The prior art comprises several examples of reels, wherein multiplier devices are employed for solving the same kind of problems, but such examples differ from a reel according to the invention as regards the disposition and the interconnection of the various parts constituting said multiplier devices, so that said examples cannot obtain many relevant advantages offered by the present invention.
One of the aforementioned examples is described by Patent DE-A-2002504.
