ABSTRACT:
An open face fishing reel 2 having a pivotally supported nonspinning bail 111 positioned such that fishing line 105 is always within reach of the index finger of the hand holding the rod. The nonspinning bail 111 is movable to a line casting position, disengaged from the line 105 and remote from the open end of a spool 94. Upon rotation of a hand crank 80 for line retrieval, bail 111 is smoothly and automatically tripped to pivot to a line retrieval position for line pick-up and winding.
The invention includes a line traversing cam encircling the spool. A means for driving the spool and the line cam to rotate produces a relatively high number of even-wound turns of line, per layer, upon the spool.
