THUMB RELEASE ATTACHMENT FOR SPINNING REEL

摘要

A housing located on top of the handle of a spinning rod possesses a thumb-actuated latch member capable of selectively retaining or releasing a fishing line extending from a spinning reel (located below the handle) upwardly to the latch member and thence forwardly through the line guides and tip eye to the terminal line tackle. The line is released by a slight movement of the thumb at the appropriate juncture in the casting operation.
