ABSTRACT:
A reel for a duck decoy or the like, comprises a first hub having a second hub mounted and biased for rotary movement thereto. The second hub has diametrically opposed notches, each notch has two edges, and each notch has a circumferential groove located a short distance from the periphery of the hub. Each notch has a tab projecting from the outer edge of the second hub into the notch, forming a slot between the tab and an edge of the notch leading to the groove. A lock pin is pivotally mounted to the first hub so that it can pivot into the notch, thence pivot into the slot as the second hub rotates and thence slide into the groove as the second hub rotates. When the pin is in the groove it locks the second hub against rotary movement relative to the first hub in the direction of spring bias. The lock pin can be moved from the locked position to the unlocked position. The reel has a cord having a first end tied to the second hub so that the end does not pass around either of the notches. The cord winds around the reel and passes through an eyelet mounted to the first hub, thence through a loop at the outer end of the lock pin, and has its second end tied to an anchor weight. The anchor can be fed out into water by the unwinding of the cord.
