Abstract
In a drive mechanism for a fishing reel in which the drive shaft has a radial drive wheel intermediate its ends. Straddling the drive wheel are rotatable discs carrying a main gear, and outboard of the radial discs are drive flanges carried on plunger sleeves. The plunger sleeves are axially slidable on the drive shaft but rotate therewith. The main drive shaft is threaded at both ends so that a drag adjustment nut may be threaded onto either end to push one of the plunger sleeves axially and compress friction washers between the main drive wheel and a plunger sleeve drive flange against opposite sides of one of the driven discs carrying the main gear.
