Abstract
A two-speed drive for a fishing reel wherein a low friction clutch is interposed between the drive shaft and the high speed main drive gear. Planetary gears extend from one side of the main drive gear and are engaged by the secondary drive gear so that, in the event the low friction clutch slips, the main drive gear will be driven by the smaller secondary drive gear through orbital rotation of the planet gears.
