Abstract
In a fishing reel, there is a main drive shaft rotatably on the reel body. A separable input shaft, which may be selectively coupled to either end of the main drive shaft, has a handle free rotatable thereon. A drag disc is slidable on, but splined to the input shaft and a pressure member squeezed a friction member between the drag disc and the handle to adjust the torque that may be transmitted from the handle to the input shaft and, hence, the main drive shaft.
