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.
