ABSTRACT:
A drag mechanism for a spinning reel includes a pressing member mounted on a spool shaft not to be rotatable relative thereto, a frictional section formed on a front surface of a spool, and a control member meshed with a screw portion at a forward end of the spool shaft for applying a pressure to the pressing member to adjust a contact pressure between the pressing member and frictional section. The control member includes a tubular portion adjacent the pressing member and coaxial with the spool shaft, the tubular portion defining a toothed surface and a large diameter portion having a larger diameter than the toothed surface. The pressing member carries a resilient element extending through openings in the pressing member into contact with the toothed surface forwardly of the large diameter portion. The resilient element is engageable with and disengageable from the toothed surface to produce a sound when the control member is turned.
