Abstract
A multiplier fishing reel, in which the line spool may be rotated in a first direction by means of the fishing line during a cast, and may be rotated in the opposite direction by means of a hand crank for retrieval of the line onto the spool comprises a first transmission between the crank and the line spool for rotating the line spool by means of the crank, a first clutch between the line spool and the first transmission for manual disengagement of the line spool from the first transmission for casting, and an adjustable frictional clutch which comprises two relatively rotatable elements of the first transmission, whereby the line spool may be rotated against the action of friction from the frictional clutch in relation to the hand crank by tractive force from the line even when the first coupling is engaged. The fishing reel is further equipped with another clutch which permits release of the line spool also from the level-wind mechanism of the reel which is driven by the hand crank via the second transmission whereby the line spool becomes free-running during a cast and the level-wind mechanism remains motionless.
