ABSTRACT:
An indicator system for conventional open-face spinning reels of the type having a line spool and a drag nut for applying a drag force against rotation of the line spool includes a plurality of drag setting markers spaced about the face of the line spool and corresponding to a desired drag setting for different gauges (lb. Test) of line on the spool. An alignment marker is positioned on the face of the drag nut and an indicator chart is provided on the reel having indicia thereon corresponding to the drag setting marks and indicating the predetermined gauge represented by each drag setting marker. The correct drag is set for the line on the spool by rotating the drag nut to a finger tight position, and then by reverse rotation of the drag nut to align the alignment marker with the correct one of the drag setting markers, as determined by cross-reference to the indicator chart.
