    Patent number: 6076640
    Abstract: A dynamic drag for a fishing reel. The drag has a brake rotor and a brake pad moveable into engagement with the rotor, and a pivotally mounted eccentric engaging the brake pad to force it frictionally against the rotor. In one embodiment the eccentric is axially eccentric and has a pivotally mounted "pie" section "ramp", whereby lever actuation of the ramp rotates it against the rotor with increasing force.
