ABSTRACT:
A dual drag mechanism is provided for use in a spin cast reel having a body portion with a deck plate, a forwardly extending hub associated with the body portion, and a spool supported on the hub fowardly of the deck plate for rotation about an axis lengthwise of the reel. In one embodiment of the invention, a drag plate includes a body portion supported between the deck plate and the spool for applying pressure to the spool. The drag plate is anchored to the deck plate at a first point radially of the hub. A first drag actuating device is provided for engaging the drag plate at a second point radially of the hub and angularly of the first point, and including a first manually manipulatable actuator movable in a plane generally transverse to the reel axis. A second drag actuating device is provided for engaging the drag plate at a third point radially of the hub and angularly of the first and second points, and including a second manually manipulatable actuator movable in a plane generally parallel to the reel axis. In another embodiment of the invention, a first drag actuating device is provided operatively associated with the spool for applying pressure to the spool. A second drag actuating device is provided for applying increased pressure directly to the spool. In both embodiments, the first and second drag actuating devices are maintained in actuating condition until moved or released.
