Abstract
An open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type has a rotor, a line spool, a bail for winding a line onto the line spool, and a detachable trigger mechanism. Two mounting elements supporting the bail are so rotatably mounted each on one attachment on the rotor that the bail is pivotal between a folded-in line-winding position and a folded-out position in which it is released of the line. The trigger mechanism has a support element releasably mounted on one of the attachments and carrying a pin on which a trigger is mounted for pivotal movement between a first position and a second position. A driver eccentrically engages the mounting element mounted on the above-mentioned attachment. A cam is arranged on the trigger in order, during the pivotal movement of the trigger from the first position to the second position and in cooperation with the driver, to turn the mounting element from its position of rotation corresponding to the folded-in line-winding position of the bail, to its position of rotation corresponding to the folded-out position of the bail.
