 holds the rod and reel to lift the casting line above the roller. He then holds the line on his finger while opening the bail. During the cast swing, he must straighten his finger to let go of the line at the right instant. Since this is an awkward and fairly difficult maneuver to perform with precise timing, the casts tend to be erratic in distance and accuracy.
In the embodiments of the subject invention, a mechanical finger performs the functions of the user's index finger, but with greater speed and precision. One embodiment improves a conventional spinning reel. Another embodiment improves an axial delivery reel in which the crank drives the spool rather than the line pick-up. The latter method of winding has an important advantage when relatively strong or heavy lines are reeled. The advantage relates to the issue of line twist which is explained in the following paragraphs.
As mentioned, when line is cast from any axial delivery reel, the line peels off of the spool longitudinally of the spool axis. With a nonrotating spool, a full twist occurs in the outstretched line for each turn that unravels from the spool. Conventional spinning reels and spincast reels correct the twist problem by rotating the line pick-up during line retrieval in order to reverse the twist. This works well for relatively thin monofilament.
When using heavy service lines, however, such as braided lines or monofilament having a test strength of 40 lbs. or greater, the outstretched line automatically untwists when being retrieved (assuming a swivel is attached). This occurs before the line reaches the line pick-up of the reel. Consequently, a rotating or spinning line pick-up of a conventional reel twists the straightened line as the latter is wound. This results in the spool being loaded with twisted line.
In an axial delivery driven spool reel wherein the crank drives the spool (not the pick-up) during winding, twist is prevented when the heavy service lines are reeled. This winding method can be used to advantage. Limper monofilament lines have been developed and are now being marketed in 40 lb. test strength and over. Hence, the new lines can pave the way to a successful future for open face driven spool reels. They could be used for fishing or for other applications including rescue operations.
The subject invention can be applied to great advantage in improving conventional spinning reels, especially for using lines of under 40 lb. test. The

During the cast swing, he must roll out his finger to get go of the line at the right instant. Since this is an awkward and reasonably difficult maneuver to perform with precise timing, the cast tend to be erratic in distance and accuracy. 
 In the embodiments of the subject invention, a mechanical finger performs the functions of the user's exponent finger, but with greater speed and precision. One shape improves a conventional spinning reel. Another embodiment improves an axile delivery virginia reel in which the crank drives the spool preferably than the line pick - up. The latter method of winding has an important advantage when relatively strong or heavy lines are reeled. The advantage relates to the issue of line twist which is explained in the following paragraphs. 
 As mention, when line is cast from any axile rescue virginia reel, the line peels off of the bobbin longitudinally of the bobbin axis. With a nonrotating spool, a full bend occurs in the outstretched line for each turn that unravels from the spool. Conventional spinning reels and spincast reels correct the twist problem by rotating the agate line choice - up during line retrieval in order to reverse the twist. This make well for relatively thin monofilament. 
 When using heavy servicing lines, however, such as braided lines or monofilament having a examination strength of 40 pound. or greater, the outstretched line automatically untwists when being retrieved (assuming a swivel is attach). This occurs before the note reaches the occupation pick - up of the reel. Consequently, a rotating or spinning line pick - up of a ceremonious reel twists the straightened line as the latter is wound. This solution in the spool being loaded with twisted line. 
 In an axial manner of speaking driven spool virginia reel wherein the crank drives the bobbin (not the pick - up) during winding, twist is prevented when the heavy service lines are reeled. This winding method can be used to advantage. hobbler monofilament lines have been developed and are nowadays being marketed in 40 lb. test strength and over. Hence, the fresh lines can pave the way to a successful future for open font driven spool reels. They could be used for fishing or for other application including rescue operations.
