A rod-free fishing reel is described that includes a rod-free spool assembly for holding fishing line and a winding mechanism. The winding mechanism re-spools that fishing line after it is pulled in by the fisherman. The present invention is particularly suited for rodless fishing such as ice fishing with rattle reels. The winding mechanism includes a spring to provide a rotary force that is sufficient to reel in a fishing line but not reel in a fish. Moreover, the rotary force will not interfere with the fisherman gripping the line and controlling setting the hook or reeling in the line hand over hand directly on the line intermediate the spool and the fishing hole. In an embodiment, the winding mechanism has a plurality of positions. In an embodiment, the winding mechanism includes a pawl and the spool includes a ratchet.
