Abstract

See full text

An improved fishing reel of the type having a frame, a line-carrying spool carried by a shaft and mounted for rotation relative to the frame about a first axis, a crankshaft mounted for rotation relative to the frame about a second axis, a crank handle for rotating the crankshaft, and means including a drag apparatus for transmitting rotational movement of the crankshaft about the second axis into rotational movement of the spool shaft and spool about the first axis. The drag apparatus is adjusted by a drag-adjusting knob coaxially mounted on the crankshaft. The improvement resides in structure for signaling, audibly or by feel, that the drag on the spool is being changed either by increasing or decreasing the drag setting when the drag-adjusting knob is turned relative to the crankshaft.
