Abstract
A fishing reel with a fixed spool and line recovery device comprises a flyer rotated about an axis and carrying a line recovery bail. The bail and the flyer comprise respective pinch surfaces which are pressed together when the bail is in a line recovery position. The fishing line is engaged and pinched between the pinch surfaces and is therefore tensioned between the spool and the recovery device from the start of line recovery. This improves the regularity with which the line is wound around the spool.
