APPLICANT: KURT DANIELSSON TITLE: REEL AND EQUIPMENT FOR FLY FISHING, AND A PROCESS FOR SHIFTING FLY LINES A fly-fishing reel comprises a line spool and an associated housing mountable on a fly rod. The line spool consists of a tubular body with radially projecting edge flanges, said body being rotatably supported around its inner peripheral surface by carrier rollers rotatably mounted in the housing while being journalled with a predetermined rotational drag so as to prevent the line spool from spinning. The inventive fly-fishing reel thus operates without any specific brake arrangement. The invention further comprises a process for shifting a fly line mounted on a fly rod and on a flyfishing reel.
