ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a fishing reel drag mechanism for a spool shaft supported at both ends, comprising a pinion engaged with a master gear on a master gear shaft, a bearing for supporting the master gear shaft capable of axial movement relative to said master gear shaft but not rotation relative thereto, a ratchet wheel attached to an outer circumferential edge of the bearing which is engaged with the master gear by a one-way pawl arrangement, an a drag control arrangement which, when tightened, pushes the bearing inward on the master shaft, thus engaging the ratchet with the one-way pawl arrangement. When the spool is rotated in a reverse counterclockwise direction to pay out the fishing line, the pinion causes the master gear to rotate in a reverse counterclockwise direction. When the drag control lever is tightened down, so that the ratchet engages the one-way pawl, a braking force is applied to the master gear, thus braking the pinion and reel rotation. The magnitude of the braking force can be grossly adjusted with the drag control lever, and finally adjusted with the threaded presetting nut.
