Fishing reel with improved line management and control system and clicker mechanism
A fishing reel designed to minimize line snag and simplify clicker operation. A frame mounted spool includes a forward flange defining a circumferential groove for receiving a smooth surfaced ring that is loosely mounted therein for minimizing line interaction. A spinner head assembly has pin arms that are pivotally secured to a rearward face. The pin arms present a substantially smooth rear surface for minimizing line snags. Pin springs are mounted on the opposite face of spinner head member and communicate with the pin arms via pin arm posts that extend through openings. An enclosure is affixed to the forward face of the spinner head for permitting the pin springs to have freedom of movement, but for enclosing pin springs and posts to prevent interaction with fishing line. A dual clicker passes through the frame for engaging the spool and the drag adjusting wheel.
SNUBBERLESS SPINCAST REEL
A spincast reel having at least one camming control member device that is operably connected to the activation button and the pickup pin camming control member device to control the extension and retraction of the pickup pin during casting, unspooling, and retrieving operations of the reel.
