Abstract
The disclosure relates to a fishing reel of the type which has a rotary line spool and a level-wind mechanism with a rotary involute screw and a line-laying device, driven by the involute screw for reciprocating movement therealong, and which has a drive means comprising the crank of the reel and a transmission, by means of which the line spool and the involute screw are rotatable in a first direction for retrieval of the fishing line onto the spool during even distribution of the line by means of the level-wind mechanism. The characterizing feature of the invention is that the transmission is provided with a device which is disposed to be actuated by rotation of the line spool in a direction opposite to the line-retrieval direction, such as when the line spool is rotated by the fishing line, in order, after an actuation time-lag which is determined with respect to the movement of the line-laying device, to lock the involute screw against rotational movement as soon as the line-laying device arrives at a central position on the involute screw, and to release the line spool from the involute screw.
