ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel is provided which includes a drag mechanism for driving a spool supported rotatably relative to a reel body on a spool shaft. A drag mechanism includes a braking member and a drag disc for transmitting a driving force from the drive mechanism to the spool. A covering mechanism includes a cover defining an inner space in which the drag mechanism is housed and includes a sealing unit for sealing the inner space at the cover. A clutch is interposed in a drive train assembly including the drive mechanism for allowing the spool to freely rotate when the clutch is disengaged. This structure provides the drag mechanism with reliable protection from water, and, when the drag mechanism is in a non-operating mode, the spool is allowed to smoothly and freely rotate.
