ABSTRACT:
A spinning reel for fishing 10 comprises a spool shaft 17 reciprocal in an axial direction during rotation of a handle shaft and a being provided at a first axial end of the spool shaft. The reel includes an adjustable drag mechanism 23 including a core block fixed to the spool shaft, provided at a second axial end of the shaft, opposite to the first axial end of the spool, a rotor for winding line onto the spool and a switch means for selectively engaging between a first "normal" drag state in which the spool shaft is inhibited from rotating and a free spool state in which the spool shaft may be free to rotate subject to the adjustable drag mechanism. A switch mechanism associated with the switch means comprises a plate adapted to move parallel to the axis 17A of the spool shaft, between a first and a second stable positions. The plate defines a protrusion at one end
When the switch is in the first of the two stable positions the protrusion is adapted to engage in a corresponding female slot in the core block to prevent rotation of the core block and hence the spool shaft.
The switch is movable to the second position in which the protrusion is disengaged from the female slot and the core block and spool are free to rotate relative to the switch.
