Abstract
A touch control is provided for a spin-casting fishing reel employing a freewheeling flywheel adjacent the line-discharge end of a non-rotating line spool, which flywheel rotates freely of the line take-up or retrieval mechanism and engages with the line and spins as the line unwinds from the spool. A touch control member carried on the reel is operable by manual pressure to selectively retard rotation of the flywheel to control or feather line discharge from the reel.
