Abstract
This invention comprehends a free-floating drag mechanism that is adaptable for use in conventional spinning reels and skirted style spinning reels. The free-floating drag is mounted at the rear of the fishing reel and is keyed to the main shaft that holds the spool. When the drag is tightened down the spool cannot rotate and as the drag is loosened the spool is able to rotate paying out line from the spool without the bail being opened.
