Fly reel

In a fly reel wherein a brake is supported on a frame, a brake wheel and a spool are coaxially supported on a shaft, and a one way clutch is interposed between the brake wheel and the spool, the improvement comprising;

• a clutch wheel rotating integrally with the spool, a recessed portion inside the brake wheel, said clutch wheel being positioned inside said recessed portion, at least one of the outer periphery of the clutch wheel and the peripheral wall of the recessed portion of the brake wheel including recessed and protruded portions, so that the width of an annular gap formed therebetween varies to become larger and smaller, roller means having an intermediate width with respect to the minimum and maximum widths of said annular gap and being inserted into said gap, reversible spring means for urging said roller means in the small width direction of said gap, and mounting means on said brake wheel for selectively mounting said spring means in one of two positions for right-handed and left-handed, respectively, operation of the reel, the directions of urging being in opposite directions for the two positions, whereby in one rotational direction the clutch wheel is engaged by the brake wheel, and in the opposite rotational direction the clutch wheel is disengaged from said brake wheel, the rotational directions being different for said two positions of said spring means.
