ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel of the spin-cast type, having a body with a fixed hub, a line carrying spool rotatably supported on the hub. The reel having rotatable and non-rotatable drag washers operating on the spool creating a drag assembly. For smooth drag action during heavy usage, a lubricant retaining cavity is positioned in the drag surface of a drag assembly member. The use of a lubricant retaining cavity being optional in one or all drag assembly members, that which provides the drag action desired. A lubricant retaining cavity positioned in the drag surface permits the cavity to be covered, and retains lubricant in the cavity when the drag surfaces are engaged. The spool rotates as line carried thereon is drawn therefrom, permitting lubricant to be wiped from the retaining cavity and about the engaging drag surfaces, thereby becoming a self lubricating drag assembly.
