ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel has a line spool and related mechanism contained in a housing connected with a T-shaped foot for attaching the reel to a rod in a suspended position. A hand crank is drivingly connected with the spool through a driving mechanism including a clutch mechanism having a coupling member movable between a drive position at which the hand crank is drivingly connected with the spool and a free running position at which the driving connection between the hand crank and the spool is broken, thereby allowing the spool to rotate independently of the hand crank. A hand lever extending from the reel housing near the T-shaped foot is operable by a finger of the hand grasping the rod and operates when moved from its normal position to first move the coupling member to break the driving connection between the hand crank and the spool and to thereafter apply a friction brake to one flange of the spool to allow the angle to sensitively control the outward movement of the line and thereby the length of the cast.
