Abstract: A large arbor anti-reverse fly fishing reel provides by its handle a convenient variable drug control up to a present drag force. The drag knob is preferably designed as a four-vane propeller knob being arranged within a handle depression extending inside the spool. By means of a bayonet coupling, which also serves as a variable drag control device, the handle can be securely attached to the reel thereby locking the spool. The spool can be provided with omega-like perforations for a maximum stability, lightness and ventilation, said ventilation being optionally enhanced by an air turbine formed by said perforation and a portion of the frame and/or a portion of the handle extending inside the spool.

Abstract: A fishing reel drag system may comprise a drag housing having a cavity and fixed rotationally relative to a shaft or a spool. A driven member adjacent the cavity is rotatable relative to the drag housing and with the other of the shaft or spool. A drag stack of washers in the cavity includes a plurality of friction washers keyed to the drag housing or the driven member and at least one metal washer keyed to the other of the drag housing or driven member. A cam and follower move the driven member to bias the drag stack for exhibiting friction. A spring biases the drag stack for producing a desired level of friction and an actuator actuates the cam and follower. The actuator may disengage the spool from the drag stack.

Abstract: An improved spinning reel of the type has a body, a rotor and line pick-up rotatably mounted on the body, a shaft mounted for reciprocating movement with respect to the body and rotor, a spool rotatably mounted on the shaft, a drag assembly permitting adjustably controlled rotation of the spool with respect to the shaft to release line at an adjusted drag force, and a handle drive mounted on the body for rotating the rotor and reciprocating the shaft. The handle arm has a base arm and a distal arm adjustably secured together for selecting an effective handle length and radius of rotation of the handle knob. The handle knob defines a channel, and a plurality of ganged O-rings deployed in the channel to provide the grip surface of the knob, and may be oval.

Abstract: A kite reel has a spool rotatable on a shaft to reel in or out kite line attached to a flying kite. A brake disk coaxial with the spool on the same shaft is moved translationally to and from the spool to block or unblock the spool rotation on a central brake disk cam defined by the shaft. A peripheral brake disk cam is engaged by a thumb wheel driven cam to rotate the brake disk on the first cam into or out of spool contact.

Abstract: A double disc brake for a fishing reel, comprising in combination a fishing reel assembly having a pin axle, acting as a stop and/or drive, two rotatable discs carried by the pin to rotate therewith, as fishing line is wound or payed out, said discs located proximate opposite ends of the reel, brake pads at opposite ends of the reel to be engaged as the discs and pads are relatively closed into engagement, at said opposite ends of the reel.

Abstract: A fishing reel includes a spool disk, a handle disk mounted coaxially and in juxtaposition with the spool disk, a winding handle or crank affixed to the handle disk, and a brake mechanism, including an actuator incorporated in the handle, for applying a drag braking torque between the spool disk and the handle disk. The braking torque is controllable by a user by squeezing the handle while holding the handle for cranking. Accordingly, the user does not have to let go of the winding handle in order to apply or vary the drag.

Abstract: A fishing reel includes an adjustable dynamic drag mechanism and a static drag mechanism connected to a brake mechanism. The static drag mechanism allows a user to select a predetermined amount of static drag whereas the manually adjustable dynamic drag mechanism allows the user to instantly add more drag. The fishing reel also allows a user to set a maximum total drag (i.e., the combination of the static and the maximum dynamic drag) such that the user cannot accidentally add too much dynamic drag that could result in the total drag exceeding the strength of the fishing line. The fishing reel preferably includes an adjustable leverage mechanism that allows the user to select the desired amount of mechanical advantage. In the preferred embodiment, the brake mechanism includes a ratchet plate, a yoke, and a friction ring disposed between the plate and the yoke.

An annular spool is positioned within the spool receiving cavity and is supported by the spool supporting surface. The spool has a circumferential line receiving cavity. The line receiving cavity is closed by the peripheral sidewall of the spool receiving cavity. The spool is rotated manually. A brake is provided for braking the rotation of the spool.

Abstract: A method and structure for forming a fly fishing reel having a device to engage or release a preset amount of drag from a spool of line. A spool of line is mounted on a spindle on the fly fishing reel. A drag mechanism is adapted to apply resistance against rotation of the spool. The device is adapted to engage or release the drag mechanism from the spool so that the preset amount of drag is enabled or disabled.

Abstract: A fishing reel has a spool for fishing line rotatably mounted about a shaft operable by a crank. A drag assembly mounts the spool to the shaft with two ball bearing assemblies and a clutch pack of washers consisting of drag washers keyed to the spool, drag washers keyed to the shaft and friction washers between the spool-keyed and shaft-keyed washers. An adjustment mechanism compresses the clutch pack of washers through the inner races of the bearing assemblies.

Abstract: A spinning reel of the rotor drag type, with which the rotor can be braked during line play-out, is equipped with a power transmission mechanism. The power transmission mechanism has a pinion gear that is rotatably supported by the reel body in only the line winding direction, and that rotates together with the handle. A clutch mechanism is provided between the pinion gear and the rotor and engages and disengages them. An operating mechanism is used to operate the clutch mechanism for engaging and disengaging. A level winding mechanism moves the spool in the longitudinal direction according to the rotation of the rotor. The power transmission mechanism rotates the rotor and moves the spool in the longitudinal direction together with the rotation of the handle.

The inventive device includes a main body having a reel mechanism mounted thereto. The reel mechanism includes a spool upon which fishing line can be wound, a drag plunger effecting frictional drag on the spool, and a main shaft which can be forwardly biased to cause free-spooling of the reel mechanism. A trigger assembly is mounted relative to the main body and includes a first trigger arm which can be pivoted to selectively effect movement of the drag plunger to operate the drag brake mechanism and a second trigger arm which can be pivoted to selectively effect movement of the main shaft to operate the free spool mechanism.

Abstract: A fishing reel of the fixed-spool type comprises a frame and a spool shaft rotatably mounted therein. A line spool is non-rotatably mounted on the end of the spool shaft projecting from the frame. The reel has a transmission for changing the movement of a handle, both into a rotary movement of a rotor for winding up a line on the line spool and into a movement of an eccentric device for axial oscillation of the spool shaft. The reel further has an adjustable friction brake intended to allow the line spool to rotate under frictional drag in relation to the frame. Further, the fishing reel has a friction brake release device which is operated by the handle and which, when the handle is turned backwards (in a direction contrary to the direction of retrieve), acts on the preset friction brake so that it can be released and thereafter readily reengaged.
