Abstract:
1. A drag adjusting device for a dual-bearing reel for adjusting a drag force of a drag mechanism and constructed to brake a spool rotatably mounted to a reel unit of the dual-bearing reel, the drag adjusting device comprising: a drag operating member pivotally attached to an outer side of the reel unit so as to pivot about a spool shaft of the spool between a minimum position corresponding to a minimum drag state of the drag mechanism and a maximum position corresponding to a maximum drag state of the drag mechanism; and a drag restricting member detachably coupled to the outer side of the reel unit and disposed within the pivot range between the minimum position and the maximum position, the drag restricting member being adapted to contact the drag operating member so as to restrict pivotal movement of the drag operating member, the drag restricting member being selectably coupled to any of a plurality of mounting recesses of an outer side surface of the reel unit.
