ABSTRACT:
A heavy-duty reel includes a free-wheeling retrieve crank which is movable on a spindle to engage bosses or recesses carried on the spool for retrieval or control of the line. A brake or drag is formed on the crank and is engaged by pressing the crank against the adjacent side of the spool. A band-type drag is operated through a one-way clutch mechanism, and is mounted for control on two levers, one for adjusting the tension in the band for setting a predetermined drag, and the other for immediately applying and releasing the drag. The clutch incorporates a spring-operated shock absorber or strain relief which permits the spool to pay some line out prior to engagement of the set drag. A handbrake, operated by a squeeze action on the reel, includes an outside pad adjacent the backing plate of the reel, connected through the backing plate to an internal brake pad support and an arcuately fashioned brake pad which may be pressed into engagement with the adjacent surface of the spool for applying a braking action to the spool. The brake pad support provides a guide for the drag band in the released position of the band.
