ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel with a frame having a first axis and forward and rear ends spaced axially relative to the first axis and an operating mechanism on the frame. The operating mechanism includes a line carrying spool, a rotor that is rotatable around the first axis relative to the frame, a bail assembly on the frame which is changeable between a cast position and a retrieve position, a rotor operator, and a drive train through which the rotor is rotated around the first axis in response to operation of the rotor operator. The operating mechanism further has a bail actuating system for moving the bail assembly from the retrieve position into the cast position. The bail actuating system includes a bail moving assembly which moves in a fore and aft direction relative to the frame, and a motion changing linkage which produces a force on the bail assembly that urges the bail assembly from the retrieve position towards the cast position as an incident of the bail moving assembly moving from a normal position forwardly relative to the frame into an opening position. The bail moving assembly has a portion that cooperates with the frame to guide the bail moving assembly between the normal and opening positions.
