Abstract
A fly fishing reel comprising a spool rotatably mounted in a casing and braking means for impeding rotation of the spool in one direction. The braking means comprises a ring mounted within the casing for rotation with the spool, a pawl pivotally connected to the ring, and a rotatable plate having a ratchet engageable with the pawl whereby the pawl and spool effect rotation of the plate. A washer is disposed between the casing and the plate for frictionally impeding rotation of the plate. A spring is provided for urging the plate against the washer and toward the casing and thereby preventing rotation of the plate when the spool and ring rotate in one direction, and causing the plate to rotate with the ring and spool when the spool is rotated in the other direction.
