ABSTRACT:
An improved line drag inducing means is adaptable for use in spinning and spin cast type fishing reels. A line handling member is operably connected to driving means by clutch means. An adjustable first spring means biases the clutch means into engagement, whereby a non-rotatable spool has a line wound thereon by the line handling member. A sufficiently strong pull on the line will cause the line handling member to overcome the resistance to reverse rotation, relative to the driving means, resulting from the engagement of the clutch. Reverse rotation of the line handling member will unwind the line from the spool. Second spring means opposing disengagement of the clutch means are compressible by a sufficiently strong forward pull on the line handling member.
