Abstract:
1. A spool brake device of a dual-bearing reel configured to brake a spool that is rotatably mounted to a reel unit and arranged to wind a fishing line around the periphery surface thereof, the spool brake device comprising: a spool brake member being configured to electrically-controllably brake the spool; a first braking force setting element being configured to set first braking force; a tension setting element being configured to set a reference tension; a tension detection member being configured to detect tension to be applied to the fishing line; a second braking force setting element being configured to set second braking force by multiplying the first braking force by a predetermined scale factor; and a spool control component being configured to control the spool brake member with the first brake force at the start of braking, the spool control component being configured to control the spool brake member with the second braking force when tension detected by the tension detection member becomes equal to or less than the reference tension after the start of braking.
