Abstract
A thumb button is disclosed for use in a fishing reel having a rotatable spinner head retained within a housing, the spinner head being displaceable axially by depressing the thumb button. Stops are associated with the thumb button to confine rearward rotation of the button away from a depressed position. Pivots are operatively associated between the thumb button and the housing, the thumb button being pivotable about the pivots. A spring tab is molded as an integral part of the thumb button for engaging the inside of the housing to constantly maintain the spring means and, thereby, the thumb button under loaded condition.
