Abstract
A fishing reel of the multiplier type has a frame with two side plates. A shaft extends through the frame and is supported by support bearing elements provided on the side plates. A line spool is rotatably mounted on the shaft, and friction brake element is arranged to brake the rotation of the spool. A shifting element is provided at one end of the shaft for axially shifting the shaft in one direction. A driver member is arranged, upon axial shifting of the shaft, to urge the spool towards the friction brake element to increase its braking effect. A resilient member having a through opening in which the shaft is inserted, is arranged both to retain the shaft against rotation and to ensure the return of the shaft after axial shifting thereof. The shaft has a circumferential groove which extends throughout at least a portion of the circumference of the shaft and in which is resilient member engages when the shaft is inserted in the opening of the resilient member. The shaft can be retracted from and reinserted in this opening under resilient expansion thereof.
