Spinning type fishing reel with bi-directionally rotating rotor with drag control to prevent line twist

摘要

A fishing spinning reel that eliminates problems associated with line twist by providing a rotor adapted for both forward and reverse rotation wherein a drag assembly applies drag to the rotor to prevent the rotor from imparting twist on the line when in the winding mode. By enabling the rotor to rotate in a reverse direction with the application of drag the present invention prevents line twist when fighting a fish by allowing the rotor to rotate in a reverse direction and/or to remain stationary as the handle is cranked thereby preventing the rotor from imparting twist on the line.
