Abstract:
Fishing reel (1) for fly-fishing, comprising a body (2), a line winder (3) joined to the body (2) rotating around an axis (x--x), and a handle (4) that rotates the line winder (3), wherein between the handle (4) and the line winder (3) multiplier devices (5, 6) are incorporated that multiply the ratio between the rotating speed of the line winder (3) and that of the handle (4) to a pre-determined degree, wherein a rotation axis (k--k) of said handle (4) is parallel and not coincident with respect to the rotation axis (x--x) of said line winder (3), further comprising means (31) for selective braking of the line winder (3), wherein said selective braking means comprises a floating hollow drum (32) located inside a rotating cylindrical support (33) fixed to the body (2), a center C of the floating drum (32) being positioned at a distance (d) from an outer surface (5e) of a toothed rim of said multiplier devices, said distance (d) being less than a radius (r) of the drum (32), the part of said drum facing the said surface (5e) being profiled such that it complements toothing of said toothed rim, with a pin (34) fitted inside said rotating cylindrical support (33), this pin being perpendicular to an inside surface of the floating drum (32) and thrust against it in an axial direction by a spring (35), the orientation of said rotating cylindrical support (33) being adjustable so that the thrust can be applied in a preset direction.
