ABSTRACT:
An open-face spinning-type fishing reel with a rotor having a bail unit with line holding structure for engaging line from a spool with the bail unit in its open position to prevent line payout. In one form of the invention, the bail unit has a line receiving opening with a generally U-shaped line seat at the base thereof. As the rotor rotates, the U-shaped seat engages the line and guides the line around the spool as the rotor rotates. The invention contemplates a mechanism for blocking the line in the line receiving opening with the bail unit in its open position to prevent the line from freely unwinding from the spool. In one form of the invention, the line holding structure is a pin that is movable by at least one of pivoting and sliding motion into a blocking position. The invention, in addition to providing improvements to prior known spinning-type fishing reels, may be utilized to create such form of reels comprising the invention's own structured crank, trigger and related mechanisms. Also, the new improvements are applicable to all known spinning-type fishing reels including those equipped with crank operated bail return features, variable spool reciprocation, interchangeable spools, and similar mechanical and functional features.
