ABSTRACT:
Spinning-type fishing reels that do not require contact of a user's finger with the fishing line during manipulation of the reel's bail from a closed, line holding to an opened, line casting position comprise a line retention device linked into a trigger assembly. Such line retention device includes a pin that is moved via linked reel elements to a trigger and functions (a) to automatically engage the fishing line as the reel's bail is moved by the trigger assembly that includes the trigger toward an opened (line casting) position, (b) to retain the fishing line against unreeling while the trigger is held in the bail opened position, and (c) to automatically release the line to permit it to unreel from the reel's spool upon release of the trigger as the cast of the fishing line is preformed.
