Abstract
A fixed spool fishing reel has a manually accessible winding cup carrying a line pick-up mounted at the forward end of a rotatable shaft disposed coaxially in the spool. The shaft and cup are movable axially from a rear reeling-in position in which the pick-up is above the spool to a forward casting position in which the cup and pick-up completely free the spool, a spring urging the shaft forwardly. The winding cup is manually accessible so that it can be rearwardly displaced by the fisherman's finger from the reeling-in position, to free it from a locking device whereupon the spring moves shaft and cup into the casting position, in which the finger is conveniently placed to catch and control the line.
