Abstract

A planetary gear drive system for a fishing reel wherein a spool shaft and a handle shaft are coaxial, the handle shaft carrying a ring gear and the spool shaft carrying a driven pinion. Planetary gears rotatable on a planetary gear carrier engage both the ring gear and the driven pinion at equal angles around the driven pinion. Friction brake means as well as free spool cam means operate directly on the common axis of the handle shaft and spool shaft.
