ABSTRACT:
A drag system for a spin-cast fishing reel having a line spool mounted upon a spindle extending axially of the reel deck, a drag plate for supplying axial drag pressure upon opposite sides of said spool, and a thumbwheel screw assembly for moving said drag plate. The drag plate straddles the spindle and has feet positioned on diametrically opposite sides of the line spool along a diameter of the same. The drag plate pivots about a fulcrum located between the thumbwheel screw assembly and the feet. The resulting balanced drag substantially eliminates force moments about the spool and associated spindle.
