Abstract
A fishing reel includes a line retaining surface configured to have fishing line wrapped thereabout and a line retrieval surface proximate the line retaining surface. The line retrieval surface moves between a first position in which the line retrieval surface permits fishing line to unwind from the line retaining surface and a second position in which the line retrieval surface engages and guides fishing line onto and about the line retaining surface. The fishing reel further includes a plurality of bristles extending adjacent to the line retrieval surface when the line retrieval surface is in the second position.
