ABSTRACT:
A friction drag adjustment mechanism is provided for fishing reels to adjust friction drag quickly and easily between a pair of selected reference set points. The adjustment mechanism comprises a short bracket arm mounted onto a fishing reel at an outboard side of a reel handle to project radially outwardly from the rotational axis of the reel handle. A stop pin on the bracket arm is adapted to protrude in an inboard direction to a position between a selected adjacent pair of outwardly radiating spokes on so-called star wheel of a star-type drag adjustment assembly. The stop pin functions to restrict star wheel rotation for drag adjustment to a limited part-circle motion, such that the adjacent star wheel spokes respectively contact the stop pin at opposite end limits of such part-circle rotation to define the pair of reproducible reference set points.
