Rotatable line transfer mechanism for a fishing reel

A rotatable line transfer mechanism for a fishing reel, comprising:

• a substantially hemispherical cap comprising an outwardly curved hemispherical upper section and a wall extending vertically downwards from a boundary of the outwardly curved hemispherical upper section, wherein the substantially hemispherical cap comprises a line flow slot extending from the wall to an apex of the outwardly curved hemispherical upper section, wherein the line flow slot is configured to receive and pass a fishing line from and to a spool, and wherein the substantially hemispherical cap comprises a cavity configured to partially encapsulate the spool;
• and
• a securing mechanism configured to be attached to the substantially hemispherical cap to rotatably secure the substantially hemispherical cap to a reel body of the fishing reel;
• wherein said rotatable line transfer mechanism is configured to be rotated about an axis of rotation of the spool in a first direction to position the fishing line in a first end of the line flow slot during a retrieve mode, and in a second direction opposite to the first direction to position the fishing line in a second end of the line flow slot during a cast mode.
