ABSTRACT:
A drag mechanism for a spinning reel includes a first friction plate supported non-rotatably to the spool shaft and a second friction plate disposed adjacent to the first friction plate and supported non-rotatably to the reel body. An adjusting knob is screwed with the reel body, such that the adjusting knob is rotatable relative to the reel body. The range of rotation of the adjusting knob relative to the reel body is restricted. The adjusting knob includes a spring holder for holding a drag spring which is interposed between the first and second friction plates and an initial load adjuster. The initial load adjuster is movable toward or away from the friction plates to adjust an initial rotational resistance load applied against rotation of the spool shaft by the adjusting knob. The initial load adjuster also includes a display means for displaying an indication of the initial load set by the initial load adjuster.
