ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel, particularly a fly fishing reel, which is provided with an auxiliary drag assembly actuated by finger pressure exerted radially inwardly on the assembly. The reel includes a line receiving spool with the spool flanges having an outer peripheral edge defining a braking surface. The frame means includes a circular spool retaining ring comprising first and second concentrically disposed arcuate sectors, with the arcuate sectors having a substantial degree of arcuate overlap wherein one of the sectors is provided with an arcuate cantilevered segment which may be forced inwardly by finger pressure to make contact with the outer edge surface of the spool flange so as to generate frictional drag resisting free rotation of the line spool within the frame.
