An improved fishing reel of the type having a reel frame, a line-carrying spool rotatably mounted relative to the frame, a crankshaft rotatably mounted relative to the frame, a driving gear rotatably mounted relative to the crankshaft and selectively responsive to rotation of the crankshaft to drive the spool, and a drag mechanism for frictionally engaging the driving gear and causing the driving gear to slippingly follow rotation of the crankshaft. The drag mechanism includes a drag washer mounted to the crankshaft and axially slidable thereon, the drag washer selectively frictionally engaging the driving gear, a link keyed to the crankshaft for rotation therewith and axially slidable thereon, the link being keyed to the drag washer, a clutch sleeve mounted to the crankshaft and axially slidable thereon, the clutch sleeve being keyed to the link, and a drag input structure operably mounted on the crankshaft for inputting a drag force to the clutch sleeve, whereby the drag force is transferred from the clutch sleeve to the link to the drag washer and applied to the driving gear to thereby cause the driving gear to be slippingly held to the crankshaft for rotation with the crankshaft.
