Abstract
A fishing reel with disengageable spool is disclosed comprising a first groove and a second groove formed in the vicinity of the front end of the spool support shaft. The spool comprises a resilient key engageable in one or other of the first and second grooves. When the spool is engaged in the first groove, a key of the shaft is engaged in a passage in a rear wall of the spool, preventing relative rotation of the spool on the shaft. When the resilient key is engaged in the second groove, the transverse key swivels freely in a space of the spool, allowing the spool to rotate on the shaft. Disengagement of the spool is obtained by axial translation of the spool on the shaft.
