Abstract
This invention comprehends a device for producing a clicking sound that is part of the free-floating drag in spinning type fishing reels. When a fisherman is playing in a fish trying to land the fish, it has been found desirable to let the spool rotate slowly letting out a small amount of line so that the line will not snap in two. Since the fisherman is busy an audible clicking sound indicating that the spool is rotating is a help and assistance.
