Abstract:
1. A spool brake device for a dual-bearing reel, the spool brake device configured to brake a spool capable of winding thereabout a fishing line having a terminal tackle attached to a tip thereof, the spool brake device comprising: a spool braking part configured to electrically brake the spool; a spool controlling part configured to electrically control the spool braking part; a water landing determining part configured to determine whether or not the terminal tackle is in a water landing state indicating that the terminal tackle is in water; a rotational speed detecting part configured to detect a rotational speed of the spool; and a water landing informing part configured to inform of the water landing state of the terminal tackle when the water landing determining part determines that the terminal tackle is in the water landing state, and including a non-accelerated state determining section configured to determine whether or not the spool is in a non-accelerated state, based on the detection result of the rotational speed detecting part, the non-accelerated state indicating that the spool is not being accelerated, and a non-accelerated time determining section configured to determine whether or not the non-acceleration state has been maintained for a predetermined period of time or greater when the non-accelerated state determining section determines that the spool is in the non-accelerated state, and the water landing determining part being configured to determine that the terminal tackle is in the water landing state when the non-accelerated time determining section determines that the non-accelerated state has been maintained for the predetermined period of time or greater.
