Abstract
An improved fishing reel with a main shaft support system that holds the main shaft in reduced frictional isolation from the pinion. More specifically, a radial support members to hold the main shaft concentric to the pinion and frictionally isolated therefrom. This system thus reduces the friction between a main shaft and a pinion to yield a more efficient fishing reel. A method is further provided to retrofit conventional fishing reels with the isolation support system of the present invention.
