ABSTRACT:
A large diameter reel for a trolling line is rotatably mounted on a base with a variable drag assembly in contact therewith and with a handle rotatable in one direction for reel rotation for winding.
Rotation of the reel for unwinding and winding of line with respect to the reel can be controlled by control of the drag with release for unwinding and tightening for winding so that winding of the line can be effected by rotating the handle. A shield is provided for heat dissipation from the drag.
A counter is provided driven through a gear train from the reel which measures the line payout and which can be reset to zero at any time.
The line from the reel passes over a wheel and bracket mounted on a boom which extends outwardly from the base, the bracket carries a bushing which can engage a stop piece on the line. The boom and bracket can both swivel in response to change of direction of the line. The bracket engages stops on the boom to limit its travel about the boom and prevent line tangling.
The base may be detachably secured to a mounting bracket which is fastened to the deck or transom of the boat.
