Abstract:
A fishing reel has a housing for rigidly mounting on a fishing rod. A line spool is rotatably mounted in the housing. A handle is affixed to one side of the housing for winding in line. An antireverse mechanism allows winding in line and stops free release of line. An adjustable friction clutch, or drag, allows release of line when pull exceeds a preset force. Adjustment of the drag force setting is achieved by two adjusting knobs, one on each side of the reel. This enables the angler to hold the rod in either hand while using the free hand to adjust the drag.
