Claim:
A fishing reel comprising: a reel frame; a spool shaft extending through the reel frame; a handle crank attached to a first end of the spool shaft; a non-rotating spool collar positioned about the spool shaft; a spool positioned about the spool collar that rotates around the spool collar when the handle crank is rotated; an end of the spool is connected to a second end of the spool shaft; a non-rotating bail connected to the reel frame; a line guide positioned on or adjacent to the non-rotating bail and positioned radially outwardly from the spool; a rod mount connected to the reel frame pivotable 90 degrees from a first position with respect to the reel frame to a second position; wherein when the rod mount is in the first position, the spool is generally perpendicular to the rod mount, and when the handle crank is rotated, the spool oscillates in and out with respect to the reel frame and the spool rotates about the spool collar in a manner such that fishing line positioned on the line guide is spooled onto the spool in a back and forth manner to spool the fishing line across a length of the spool when the fishing line is being reeled in; and wherein when the rod mount is in the second position, the spool is generally parallel to the rod mount to allow line to be cast out from the spool.
