Abstract
A fly-fishing reel comprised of a spool assembly, frame assembly, and drag knob assembly, wherein the drag knob assembly may be removed without the use of tools in order to access the drag components and is attached without the use of fasteners. Drag components are contained between the frame and drag knob assemblies and are accessed by removing the drag knob assembly via a channel locking system. Accessing the drag components allows the user to switch the direction of retrieve and allows a secondary means of altering the range and characteristics of the drag settings. The drag system is sealed via two points on each open end of the drag housing portion of the frame, allowing for minimal maintenance and increased reliability of the drag system.
