Abstract
A fixed spool, rotary line recovery device fishing reel includes a rotary drum carrying a recovery device bail arm articulated to the drum at both ends. The first end of the bail arm carries a roller over which the line passes during recovery. The roller is cylindrical or slightly concave and of sufficient length to allow unimpeded axial movement of the line due to the amount of line wound onto the spool and due to the relative position of the recovery device relative to the fishing pole. This reduces the stresses exerted on the line and its gradual tendency to twist.
