ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an alternate design for a level-wind mechanism that eliminates the requirement for the line to be threaded through an enclosed, or multiple device line guide. The present invention guides the line via an open slot created between one or more line guides that pivots about its supporting structure. The line guide(s) oscillate back and forth in concert across the axial length of the spool in order to evenly distribute the line that is being wound upon the spool. Further, the line guide is capable of being pivoted from a first position of line retrieve to a second position of line dissemination when it is desired to pay out the line from the spool.
