ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel is provided which includes a reel body with a pair of side frames, a spool mounted on a spool shaft disposed between the side frames, and a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a drive shaft rotatably mounted relative to the side frames, a handle mounted on one end of the drive shaft, a pinion supported on the spool shaft to rotate and slide axially relative thereto, and a main gear rotatably mounted relative to the drive shaft and engageable with the pinion. The reel also includes a drag mechanism which includes a first transmission mechanism responsive to a driving force from the drive shaft to transmit an adjustable transmission force to the main gear. The reel also includes a second transmission mechanism mounted on the drive shaft and selectively engageable with the main gear to transmit the driving force from the drive shaft directly to the main gear independently of the first transmission means. An operating mechanism is provided for engaging the second transmission mechanism with the main gear. Thus, the reel includes a drag drive system which uses the drag mechanism and a direct drive system which bypasses the drag mechanism; the reel can be selectively switched from one to the other.
