ABSTRACT:
A spin casting fishing reel assembly is presented wherein actuation of the reel and feathering of the fishing line leaving the reel may both be accomplished at a single point forwardly of the reel itself. Fundamentally, the invention consists of a casing maintaining therein a spool about which the fishing line is wound. A tubular handle is connected to a front end portion of the casing with the fishing line leaving the reel and passing through the tubular handle. The handle includes an outer tubular member having an inner tubular member slidingly received therein. A spring-biased slide button is connected to the inner tubular member and rearward motion of the slide button by the user's thumb causes the inner tubular member to engage a cam maintained within the casing. This cam causes a retraction of a carrier pin to allow the line to be released from the spool, through the tubular handle, and across the slide button. An eccentric washer is maintained upon a shaft for engagement with a pin holder to cause the projection of the carrier pin when the line is to be retrieved. A pinion is maintained about the shaft with the pinion being in engagement with a crank and gear assembly. A brake or drag housing is presented as an extension of the pinion and maintains therein a first brass washer eared to the housing, a second brass washer secured to the shaft, and at least one leather washer interposed between the two. A plunger is interconnected with a threaded rod and an adjustment knob and in contacting engagement with the first brass washer. Adjustment of the knob regulates the frictional engagement experienced among the washers of the brake and thus controls the drag adjustment of the reel assembly. The shaft, brake, adjustment rod, and knob are all axially aligned with the knob protruding from the casing at a point rearwardly of an arc defined by the rotation of the crank.
