Abstract
A double bearing type fishing reel including a pair of side frames, a spool shaft rotatably supported by the side frames through bearings, a spool concentrically fixed to the spool shaft; a handle shaft rotatably supported to one of the side frames, a handle fixed to an end portion of the handle shaft, a master gear fixed to the other end portion of the handle shaft, and a pinion engaged with the master gear and provided coaxially with the spool shaft,the pinion being movable in an axial direction of the spool shaft. The reel further includes a clutch mechanism disposed in one of the side frames and provided between the handle and the spool for selectively engaging the pinion with the spool shaft; a drag mechanism provided between a drag support member secured to the side frame and a cover member provided over the side frame, the drag mechanism being coaxial with the spool shaft and the pinion; a drag control mechanism connected to the drag mechanism for controlling drag force of the drag mechanism; and a one-way clutch mechanism provided between the drag mechanism and the pinion for selectively connecting the pinion and the drag mechanism upon rotation of the handle shaft in a first direction but disconnecting the pinion and the drag mechanism upon rotation of the handle shaft in a second direction.
