  • Magnetically actuated line feathering system for spin cast reels
    Patent number: 4640470
    Abstract: The invention is incorporated into a reel of the type having a reel housing with a deck plate, a line carrying spool and spinner head assembly mounted forwardly of the deck plate. According to the invention, a feathering element is mounted forwardly of an adjustably relative to the deck plate. Biasing structure urges the feathering element away from the spinner head assembly. An adjustable actuating button urges the feathering element against the bias force toward the spinner head assembly so that the line is trapped between the feathering element and spinner head assembly. The feathering structure is located primarily rearwardly of the spinner head assembly so that the structure is independent of the normal reel structure, yet compact.
