ABSTRACT:
A fly-fishing reel has a reel body with a reversible pawl and an arbor. A spindle shaft with a gear rotates on the arbor, the gear and pawl limiting the direction of rotation. A spool and lockably engaged drive plate rotate on the spindle shaft and are secured thereon by a drag capsule which attaches to the spindle shaft. Tightening the drag capsule on the spindle shaft forcibly engages friction surfaces on the spindle shaft, the spool, the drive plate, and the drag capsule to provide an adjustable dual disk drag mechanism, as well as securing the drive plate and spool together. The spool can be readily replaced with a different spool and the spools are preferably reversible on the spindle shaft. A winding handle is attached to the drive plate to provide direct-drive action, or is attached to the drag capsule to provide a non-return action.
