Abstract
A connection between a thumb button and a housing on a fishing reel. A socket is provided on the housing and has a curved seat. A pin is provided on the thumb button for reception in the socket and has a curved surface acting against the curved socket seat to guide pivoting of the pin in the socket and thereby rotation of the thumb button about a first axis. A projection is provided extending radially outwardly from the curved pin surface with respect to the first axis to take up clearance between the curved pin surface and the curved socket seat.
