A reel, such as a spincast reel, provides increased cranking power by eliminating sliding contact associated with a line pickup mechanism when the reel is in line retrieval mode. Fishing line is retrieved by locating a cam member proximate a body spool boss during a casting state for positioning the cam member to be acted on by cam engaging structure of the body spool boss. The cam member is rotated relative to the body spool boss. The cam member and a pick up pin are moved radially outwardly by the cam engaging structure. The cam member is axially moved away from the body spool boss. The cam member may then be rotated relative to the body spool boss during a line retrieve state, wherein the cam member and the body spool boss are spaced apart from one another for facilitating frictionless relative rotation.

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.

A fishing line wheel provided with a fishing signal device, the fishing signal device comprises an electronic control portion, an alarm switch portion, and an alarm starting portion. The alarm starting portion comprises a mute ring lining (21), a mute ring (22), a reaction bird piece (23), a bird piece reset seat (24), and a reset seat spring (25). The reaction bird piece is a long body and comprises a mounting hole (231), a limiting hole (232), a mute ring clamping protrusion (233), and a spring catch (234). The mounting hole is a kidney-shaped hole. The mute ring clamping protrusion and the spring catch are located at two ends of the reaction bird piece respectively. The limiting hole is located between the mounting hole and the spring catch. In addition, a reset seat arc-shaped groove is formed in one side of the bird piece reset seat, and a spring placement hole is formed in the other side of the bird piece reset seat. A limiting clamping protrusion is disposed on the surface of the bird piece reset seat connected t0 the reaction bird piece. One end of the reset seat spring is inserted into the spring placement hole, and the other end of the reset seat spring is connected to the spring catch. By means of the fishing line wheel provided with a fishing signal device, the situation that a fish swallows a bait is effectively prompted, a user can withdraw a line in proper time to hook a big fish, and the fishing fun is improved; existing components are flexibly used, and costs of the technical enhancement are low.

A line reel apparatus includes an apparatus housing having a fixed housing portion and a rotating housing portion adjacent to the fixed housing portion. A pin magnet is provided on the rotating housing portion. A drive mechanism drivingly engages the rotating housing portion for rotation. A catch pin housing is disposed for rotation in the rotating housing portion. A line annulus is formed between the catch pin housing and the rotating housing portion. A catch pin cavity is provided in the catch pin housing. The catch pin cavity is disposed in aligned or registering relationship to the pin magnet along a longitudinal axis of the rotating housing portion. A magnetic catch pin is disposed in the catch pin cavity and positional between a retracted position clearing the line annulus and an extended position spanning the line annulus upon alignment of the pin magnet with the catch pin cavity responsive to rotation of the rotating housing portion. A bias mechanism biases the catch pin in the retracted position in the catch pin cavity. A spool is provided in the rotating housing portion and a line is wound on the spool and extends through the line annulus from the rotating housing portion.
