    Patent number: 6318655
    Abstract: A drag mechanism in a fishing reel consists of a plurality of washers. Some of the washers are metal while others are made of a high friction co-efficient material and are keyed to the main drive gear in the reel by means of a plurality of ears extending from the periphery thereof. This can be applied to conventional and spinning reels. By rearranging the position of the metal washers and high friction washers, the drag can be varied.
