Abstract

A bushing for a fishing reel comprising: a body having an aperture therethrough for receiving a shaft such that the shaft is movable in the aperture; a plurality of chamfers extending from the body for securing the bushing in the fishing reel; an exterior contacting surface provided on the body; and at least one cam lobe provided on the body. The inventive bushing is particularly well-suited for placement on the spool hub of a spincast-type fishing reel such that the bushing operably receives and retains the reel's main operating shaft.
