Abstract
A fixed spool fishing reel which comprises a rotatable drum with at least one support member mounted thereon spaced from the outer periphery of the drum, a fixed spool for holding line and having a skirt which surrounds the drum, and a pick-up arm pivotally mounted on the support member for movement between an open and a closed position. A release device is provided for moving the pick-up arm from the open to the closed position when the drum is rotated. The release device is cooperable with a stationary stop behind the spool and comprises a double lever constituted by a shaft transverse to the rotational axis of the drum, the shaft having first and second arms. The first arm is cooperable with the stationary stop and the second arm is pivotally connected to one end of a connecting rod, the other end of which is pivotally associated with the pick-up arm. The pivotal connection between the connecting rod and the second arm is always on the same side of a line passing through the pivot axis of the double lever and the pivotal connection between the connecting rod and pick-up arm.
