ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel of the type having a line spool which during casting is non-rotating and from which the fishing line is unwound in a substantially axial direction, a bail support member rotatable by means of a hand crank, a bail means pivotally mounted on the support member to be rotated therewith, the bail means being movable against spring action from an active position for winding up the line on the line spool to an inactive position in relation to the line for permitting undisturbed unwinding of the line during casting, a releasable latching mechanism for automatically and releasably locking the bail means in its inactive position and for automatically and releasably locking said rotatable bail support member to prevent pivoting of the bail and unintentional rotation of the rotatable member, respectively, during casting. The latching mechanism comprises first engagement means on said body, second engagement means supported by and movable with said bail means, and an engaging member for cooperation with the first and second engagement means, said engaging member being movably supported by the rotatable bail support member, means for moving the engaging member from an unengaged position to an engaging position with the first and second engagement means when the bail means is pivoted to its inactive position, and releasing means supported by a stationary portion of the fishing reel for returning said engaging member to said unengaged position when the rotatable bail supporting member is rotated by the hand crank, whereupon the bail means will be returned by spring action to its active position for winding up the line on the line spool.
