Abstract
A fishing reel comprises, in a first bail arm, a locking device enabling locking of the bail arm in its closed position. It comprises in a second bail arm a return spring urging the bail arm from its closed position towards its open position and a mechanical transmission actuated by rotation of the bail arm drum to return the bail arm automatically from its open position towards its closed position. Unlocking of the bail arm in its closed position is effected manually, either by manual further pivoting in the closing direction or by manual partial pivoting in the opening direction. The bail arm can also be returned from its open position to its closed position manually.
