ABSTRACT:
A line spool assembly for mounting on a spindle in an open-face fishing reel of the fixed-spool type comprises a hollow shaft non-rotatably mountable on the spindle and having a front portion, a rear portion and an externally threaded intermediate portion, and a line spool rotatably mounted on the shaft. A line spool drag for adjustable braking of the rotation of the line spool around the shaft has at least two drag washers, one of which is non-rotatably connected to the shaft and the other is non-rotatably connected to the line spool and which are in rotation-impeding frictional engagement with each other. An adjusting knob for adjusting the braking effect of the line spool drag is rotatably mounted on the rear portion of the shaft behind the line spool. An adjusting nut which is non-rotatably connected to the adjusting knob and which is in threaded engagement with the threaded intermediate portion of the shaft in order to press, via a resilient member, the drag washers towards each other by a force adjustable by rotation of the adjusting knob.
