ABSTRACT:
A drag apparatus for a fishing reel capable of automatically compensating for variations of a braking force due to heat generated with a drag mechanism during use. The drag apparatus comprises a spool having a spool shaft, a drive transmitting device for rotating the spool, the drag mechanism, and a braking force compensating device. The drag mechanism includes a first contact member operatively connected to the spool, and a second contact member operatively connected to the drive transmitting device. The first and second contact members are contactable with each other to apply a braking force to the spool. The braking force compensating device is operable to vary a distance between the first and second contact members in proportion to heat generated with the drag mechanism during use, thereby to offset variations of the braking force caused by the heat.
