The multiplying reel is designed especially for casting a bait, and the better the construction of the reel, the longer the resultant, initial cast. All fine multiplying reels are now made with an adjust- able click, in order that they may be utilized for fly-fishing. Various devices are employed for the purpose. In some, the mechanism is on the back plate of the reel, as in the click reel, and is the same except that the pawl can be thrown in or out of gear by a sliding or turning but- ton. This is by far the best plan, as it can be operated while the reel is in motion. In other reels, the pawl engages with the pinion on the front plate. Fig. 5. and is thrown in gear by Multiplying Reel. the samc method as the other. In most Kentucky reels the click is used more as an alarm, though it can be utilized as well for fly-fishing if the spring is made stiff enough. It consists of a piece of watch spring, l^ent to a U-shape, and affixed to a block which is operated by a sliding button. The spring engages with the pinion on the front plate of the reel. Various forms of locks and drags are also applied to some multiplying reels, which, however, are only of fancied advantage. A good single-action reel, wdthout a click, will run almost as freely as a multiplying reel within certain limits, but the resultant cast will be a short one, as the momentum is soon exhausted. In the multiplier, however, the mo-.
