Fly Reel Drags use by Hayden Anti Reverse Spey and fly reels

The Anti Reverse fly reel Drag System.

The Lever Drag System is based on the Disc Brake system in every car in the world up to and including Formula One Race Cars.

It consists of a disc, in this case the spool, which has material bonded to both sides, and pressure is applied to a plate, at the front and rear, by turning the drag lever in a clockwise direction.

The spool used has Graphite Impregnated Teflon bonded to each side which contacts a cork washer bonded to the gear and drag plate

The reels have 38mm drags and the design allows for very high co-efficiency due to the compounds used.

No heat transferral back into the spool plate due to the placement of the Teflon.

The drag is more than adequate for the job as it is a true disc braking system.

The drag on the reel cannot be locked up, but straight pull pressures through the reel up to 12 kg (25lb) are easily achievable.

All parts of the reel are accessible for servicing and it was purpose built to ensure durability. Having said that the reel does not need regular servicing.

The attachment with the reel guides the easy assembly of the unit. After use the only thing that needs to be done is to spray with warm freshwater, (the shower is the best way) to eliminate salt and contaminants and rub a cloth coated with water dispersant over the reel to protect the aluminium.

To dismantle the Direct Drive, remove the screw which holds the drag nut in place and remove the draw bar, this allows for the spool to be removed, giving access to the bearings, which are sealed stainless steel.
