ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel of the fly fishing type is disclosed herein having a supporting frame provided with a stub shaft for rotatably mounting of a ratchet shaft having a toothed flange carried on one end. A fishing line storage spool is carried on the ratchet shaft by a pair of ball bearing assemblies. A crank plate is releasably secured to the end of the ratchet shaft so that the spool may be manually rotated by a winding crank fixed to the crank plate. A security locking mechanism holds the crank plate to the ratchet shaft. A friction-disc is disposed between the opposing surfaces of the toothed ratchet flange and spool while a drag adjuster mechanism is operably carried on the winding crank and is adapted to selectively engage with the spool for moving the spool into frictional engagement with the friction disc.
