Abstract: A fishing reel having a reel body, a shaft, structure for mounting the shaft to the reel body for rotation about a first axis, a line carrying spool, structure for mounting the line carrying spool to the reel body, structure for directing line onto the spool as an incident of the shaft rotating in one rotational direction, and anti-reverse structure placeable selectively in a) an engaged position for limiting rotation of the shaft in a direction opposite to the one direction, and b) a disengaged position in which the shaft can rotate in the direction opposite to the one direction. The anti-reverse structure includes a pawl, with structure mounting the pawl for movement relative to the reel body between first and second positions.
