Abstract
A reciprocating/oscillating structure for a reel of the type having a housing, a line carrying spool, a rotor mounted for rotation relative to the housing for directing line onto the spool, a rotatable crank handle for operating the rotor, and structure for reciprocating/oscillating the spool along a line with respect to the housing as the crank handle and rotor are operated to thereby direct line onto the spool. The center shaft is movable cyclically--in one of the fore and aft directions through a first part of the cycle and in the other of the fore and aft directions through a second part of the cycle. The reciprocating/oscillating structure causes the center shaft to move at a first velocity through the first cycle part and at a second velocity through the second cycle part for a given rotational velocity of the crank handle, with the first and second velocities being different.
