Abstract
A double-bearing reel with a level wind mechanism wherein a drag mechanism is so designed that the traverse cam shaft of the level wind mechanism supports the master gear of a drive mechanism and drag brake and has both ends confronted with openings formed in the side covers of the reel, and rotatably supported by the side frames of the reel, and that a handle shaft connected to the handle of the reel is detachably inserted into the traverse cam shaft from either end in such a manner that it is non-rotatable with respect to the traverse cam shaft, and a drag control ring and a drag handle are mounted on the handle shaft and engaged with each other in such a manner that they are movable relative to each other, whereby the drag brake can be tightened by turning the drag handle in the forward direction of rotation of the handle not only when the reel is operated with the handle on the right but also when the reel is operated with the handle on the left.
