beuel
Cilliers' technical dictionary has "beuel" for bail in a number of applications that would seem to be similar artifacts as the bail of a reel. The bail is that thin, semi-circular part that sometimes flips up to release the line quickly.

: I realise you're just guessing, but the bail is part of the reel, so "katrol" (reel) can't be it.
