An improved fishing reel of the type having a fixed frame/housing, a line carrying spool, a rotor for directing line onto the spool as the rotor is operated, structure for mounting the spool for reciprocating movement as the rotor is operated to cause even distribution of line on the spool during line retrieval, a reciprocating shaft for effecting reciprocating movement of the spool, a slider block movable with the reciprocating shaft, a rotatable crank handle for operating the rotor, and structure for converting rotary motion of the crank handle into reciprocating movement of the slider block and in turn the shaft and spool. The improvement relates to structure for connecting the slider block to the reciprocating shaft, which structure consists of alignable openings in each of the slider block and shaft, a locking pin having a head and a body with the body being extendable by movement in a first direction through the aligned openings in the slider block and shaft into assembled position with the head in a first orientation so that the pin body holds the slider block and shaft in operative relationship, and structure on the block for cooperating with the pin head in a second orientation for preventing the pin from moving out of its assembled position by movement oppositely to the first direction.
