ABSTRACT:
A linear winding assembly for reeling in the fishing line of a fishing reel, the winding assembly for retrofitting in the housing of the reel so the user can reel in the line without turning the handle, thus freeing one of his hands for other purposes. The winding assembly includes a cylindrical pulley housing disposed on the shaft of the reel, a roller retainer positioned within the pulley housing and having a pair of spaced-apart rollers that rotate within the pulley housing and a flat clutch plate abutting the pulley housing and having a surface upon which the rollers ride. Concentric with the shaft and positioned in linear axial alignment adjacent the pulley housing counterbore is a pulley gear pressed to the pulley housing and a driven gear mounted to a clutch bearing which is mounted on the shaft. A trigger is mounted to the slider member, and the slider member is mounted within the stem of the reel for reciprocable upward and downward movement. A bead chain is attached to the slider member and the pulley housing, respectively, and upwardly pulling on the trigger pulls on the bead chain which actuates rotational and longitudinal movement of the pulley housing causing the pulley gear to mesh with the driven gear. This causes the clutch bearing to lock onto and rotate the shaft, thus reeling in the line.
