ABSTRACT:
A fly-fishing reel has a line spool and an associated housing mountable on a fly rod. The line spool includes a tubular body with radially projecting edge flanges, the body being rotatably supported around its inner peripheral surface by carrier rollers rotatably mounted in the housing, the carrier rollers are journalled with a predetermined rotational drag so as to prevent the line spool from spinning. Thus, the inventive fly-fishing reel operates without any specific brake arrangement. The invention further includes a process for shifting a fly line mounted on a fly rod and on a fly fishing reel in which only the original fly line is substituted. Through the help of an auxiliary shaft mounted on the housing of the fly-fishing reel, the original fly line is wound on to an exchange spool leaving the backing line on the line spool of the fly-fishing reel. This backing line is then tied to a new fly line which is wound on another exchange spool which is substituted for the first mentioned exchange spool on the auxiliary shaft. Thereafter, the new fly line is wound onto the fly-fishing reel containing the backing line. This process enables replacing the old fly line with a new fly line without having to string the new fly line through the guides of the fishing pole.
