Abstract: A fishing spinning reel having a housing and rotatably carrying a shaft between a crank handle and a main gear. The main gear drives a pinion gear shaft rotatably carried on one end by the housing. On the other end of the housing is mounted a rotor. Mounted on the housing, between the housing and the rotor, is a cup washer with male threads on the outside and a notch in the cup end facing the rotor. A clutch sleeve, non-rotatably attached to the rotor, around which a one way roller clutch locks, instantly engages a braking disc as the rotor rotates backwards and releases as the rotor turns forward. A frictioning disc is located on either side of the braking disc. A washer with a cleat is pushed towards the housing against the frictioning disc by a spring washer and is kept from rotation by the cleat inside the notch on the cup washer. The spring washer is pulled toward the housing by a tension adjusting drum.

Abstract: A tool for more effectively gripping and handling fish which includes a generally cylindrical tubular housing defining a handle having a hand grip thereon with a pair of pivotal gripping jaws actuated by a slidable sleeve that is spring biased away from the handgrip by two light coil springs to enable the sleeve to be retracted by the use of one finger or thumb of the hand which is used to grip the handgrip in order to open the jaws. The jaws, when open, are placed over the bottom lip of the fish and the sleeve is released with the light spring causing the jaws to grip the lip of the fish in order to lift the fish. The jaws include a pin and cam slot connection between the sleeve and jaws with the weight of the fish causing the jaws to more tightly grip the lip of the fish.
