Fishing reels

Abstract

A fishing reel which has a control device for operating an audible warning device. The control device comprises an operating member located externally of the reel and rotatably mounted thereon by means of an extension of the operating member. The operating member co-operates by means of a profiled extension thereof with an elongate resilient member which can co-operate with the audible warning device. The elongate resilient member is supported within the reel by a part of the member fitted freely and parallel to the axis of said extension on a support on the inner side of the wall. The profiled extension of the operating member is integral with the extension to the operating member and has a terminal radial flange which extends over at least a portion of the periphery of the profiled part. The flange is in facing relationship with a first part of the resilient member, which first part is shaped to co-operate with the radial flange. The dimension of the radial flange is such that it passes freely through an aperture in the wall of the reel which houses the extension of the operating member and the distance between the radial flange and the inner side of the wall of the reel is just sufficient to accommodate the first part of the resilient member.
