Abstract
A spin casting fishing reel is provided with a key slideably mounted within the frame for providing release of the spindle shaft assembly from the reel frame. The key is slideable from a first key position, which operatively retains the shaft assembly within the frame, to a second key position, which releases the shaft assembly, so that the entire spindle shaft assembly can be removed from the frame. Once released from the frame, the entire spindle shaft assembly can be easily disassembled into its component parts for repair or readjustment. With the spin casting fishing reel reassembled to its normal operating position, it operates as any conventional spin casting fishing reel.
