Abstract
In a fishing reel with an instantaneously disengageable non-return device, the non-return device has teeth on the inside face of the line recovery device drum. A pawl pivots about an offset spindle on the reel frame and engages with the teeth on the drum in a locked position. A lever pivoting about the main axis of the reel is friction driven by the drum and in turn drives the pawl. The coupling area of the pawl is near the rotation spindle of the pawl and away from the main axis of the reel, so that there is a large multiplication ratio between rotation of the lever and rotation of the pawl. The pawl can therefore be locked to the teeth after imperceptible rotation of the lever and the drum. This achieves an instantaneous non-return function of the drum.
