Abstract
A preset cartridge system is disclosed wherein the drag knob moves Belleville washers within a separate cartridge located in the reel. The cartridge is acted upon by a drag lever. The springs in the cartridge preset system are compressed within the cartridge. These springs act on a bearing/spring cup retained in the cartridge or directly upon the bearing. This allows the preset screw to compress the springs, but not alter the free spool condition of the drag mechanism.
