Abstract
A spincasting reel is made up of an outer housing, a shaft extending through the housing including a line spool and nose portion at one end of the shaft externally of the housing with the fishing line extending away from the spool in the gap formed between the nose portion and housing. A line pick-up member extends across the annular gap and reciprocates with the nose portion when the fishing line is reeled in by a manual crank; and in releasing the line from the spool during the casting stroke the line pick-up member and nose portion are both latched in positions out of the path of movement of the line. As a preliminary to casting, a temporary restraint member may be advanced into engagement with the nose to prevent line release from the spool, and a drag control mechanism is associated with the shaft to apply a predetermined resistance to rotation of the spool and tension on the line when it is released from the spool.
