Trip system for a bail assembly on a fishing reel

A fishing reel comprising:

• a frame;
• a rotor;
• means for mounting the rotor to the frame for rotation about a first axis;
• a line storage spool on the frame;
• means on the rotor for directing line onto the line storage spool as an incident of the rotor being rotated about said first axis,
• said line directing means including a bail assembly comprising at least one bail arm and means for mounting the at least one bail arm to the rotor for pivoting movement between a) a first position wherein the bail assembly is in a retrieve position and b) a second position wherein the bail assembly is in a cast position;
• a trip link;
• means for mounting the trip link to the rotor for movement relative to the rotor between third and fourth positions;
• means cooperating between the bail assembly and trip link for moving the trip link from its third position into a fourth position as an incident of the bail assembly moving from its first position into its second position;
• a trip link actuator on the reel frame and defining a shoulder that intercepts the trip link with the trip link in its fourth position and the rotor rotating in a first rotational direction about the first axis and urges the link from its fourth position towards its third position,
• said means cooperating between the bail assembly and trip link including means for moving the bail assembly from its cast position towards its retrieve position as an incident of the trip link moving from its fourth position into its third position;
• and
• means cooperating between the rotor and trip link for producing a force on the trip link to urge the trip link axially relative to the first axis from its fourth position towards its third position as an incident of the trip link actuator moving against the shoulder on the reel frame as the rotor rotates in the first rotational direction.
