An adapter designed with and around chains, belts and gears connects to conventional fishing reel to retrieve fishing line using foot pedal rotation. The pedals may be attached to a fighting chair that couples rotational energy from rotating pedals in only one direction to cause the fishing reel to retrieve line.

A fishing reel with a line transfer mechanism is provided. The line transfer mechanism includes a line transfer arm that toggles over a spool for selectively transferring a fishing line between a cast mode and a retrieve mode. A first end of the line transfer arm is pivoted to a reel body of the fishing reel. An eye member is disposed on the line transfer arm for passing the fishing line from and to the spool. The eye member is disposed substantially perpendicular to a direction of the fishing line in the cast and retrieve modes. An angled bend configured proximal to one or both of the first end and a second end of the line transfer arm allows the eye member to be disposed proximal to the fishing reel in the cast and retrieve modes while maintaining the eye member substantially perpendicular to the direction of the fishing line.
