Abstract
A fishing reel has a frame adapted for mounting fishing reel to a rod, and a spindle is mounted in anti-reverse mechanism received in the frame for one way rotation with respect to the frame. An axle tube is mounted on the spindle by a drag assembly for adjustably permitting rotation of the axle tube against the anti-reverse mechanism, and a spool is removably received and secured in interlocking engagement on the axle tube. Therefore, the spool may be removed and replaced on the axle tube independent of the anti-reverse mechanism and drag assembly, and the anti-reverse mechanism may be reversed for opposite rotation of the spool. A drag assembly mounts the axle tube to the spindle by two ball bearings assemblies and a clutch pack of washers. An adjustment mechanism compresses the clutch pack of washers through the inner races of the bearing assemblies, so that the spool rotates with the axle tube with a minimum of friction.
