Claims13
A guiding mechanism for a fishing reel comprising:
- a level wind bracket in operative communication with a reel driving mechanism for displacement of the level wind bracket, said level wind bracket having a shaft mount configured to receive a shaft and defining a central axis;
- a roller mount fixed to the level wind bracket;
- a roller assembly having a roller rotatably mounted to the roller mount, said roller having a rotational axis which is perpendicular to the central shaft axis;
- and
- a roller runway in mechanical association with said roller.
