Reverse Engineering - Fishing Reel - Tristan Alkis

These are the external components of a spinning fishing reel.

  • The reel handle is moved in a rotating movement by a person's hand

  • The bail and line roller rotate about the the line spool and prevent the line from coming off of the line spool

  • The bail can be flipped open which allows the line to come off of the line spool

  • The line spool moves up and down while the bail and line roller rotate about it

Here's a video of a demonstration of the fishing reel I took apart prior to destruction:
