ABSTRACT:
A line reel includes a spool for line, a drive shaft effecting rotation of the spool through suitable gears and a manually operable crank hinged to the drive shaft. The drive shaft has a clutch part releasably engageable with a cooperating clutch part on one of the gears. A cam surface on the crank causes the crank, when pivoted to a selected locked or cranking position, to be moved to an over-center position at which a spring holds the crank in selected position. In locked position, the clutch parts are disengaged and the spool stops are engaged. In cranking position, the clutch parts are engaged and the stops are disengaged. The crank may be moved to disengage both the stops and the clutch parts so that the wound line may be manually extended from the spool without effecting rotation of the crank.
