ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel is disclosed herein having a supporting frame provided with a stub shaft on which a sleeved and knobbed crank plate is rotatably mounted. A fishing line storage spool is carried on the sleeve of the crank plate by a pair of spaced apart ball bearing assemblies. A drive latch is carried on the crank plate for selective disposition into engagement with one of several drive lugs projecting from the side of the spool adjacent to the crank plate in order to achieve non-slip, positive drive. A disconnect mechanism is operably carried between the crank plate and the frame for disengaging the drive latch from the spool lugs via a release blade and which includes a timing mechanism carried on the crank plate sleeve cooperating with a pawl carried on the frame. The disconnect mechanism automatically operates when the fishing line pull rotates the spool counterclockwise to positive drive rotation so that the fishing line tension is applied only by the drag adjuster assembly carried on the crank plate and bearing against the side of the spool. The reel drag adjuster assembly supplies spool drag for tensioning the line during fishing line pull.
