ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic drag fly reel for creating drag resistance on fishing line when playing a hooked fish to prevent backlash, wherein the hydraulic drag fly reel comprises a crank plate, a fishing line storage spool connected or mounted to the crank plate by way of a hub extending from the interior of the crank plate, a crank handle connected to the outside of the crank plate for rotating the spool, and a hydraulic drag system including an oil chamber, a turbine disposed in the oil chamber and a gearing system for rotating the turbine within the chamber when releasing line so as to automatically create drag on the fishing line in proportion to the resistance of the fluid in the chamber. The resistive drag automatically adjust in proportion to the force exerted by the hooked fish, especially with accelerated movements.
