ABSTRACT:
A handle assembly for a fishing reel includes a crank arm and a handle grip. The handle grip includes a linking member and a knob member having a smooth outer surface. The knob member defines first, second and third axes that are mutually perpendicular and meet at a point of intersection, and has a cross section in each plane perpendicular to the second axis that is bounded by at least a portion of a curve selected from the group consisting of a conic section and an oval. The portions define at least a portion of the smooth outer surface of the knob member. The cross sections decrease in area outward from the point of intersection along the second axis in either direction. The inventive handle assembly substantially conforms to the shape of a human palm, and enables a user to rapidly wind the knob member over an extended period of time without causing the user's hand to tire easily.
