Abstract:
A fishing reel comprising:a reel body;a spool rotatably arranged with respect to said reel body, said spool being designed to wind a fishing line thereon;rotational-force transmission means, provided in said reel body, for selectively switching said spool into one of a spool free rotation state wherein said spool is freely rotatable with respect to said reel body to unreel said fishing line therefrom and a spool operation state wherein rotational driving force can be transmitted to said spool to wind said fishing line onto said spool;a first brake member provided on said reel body;a second brake member provided on said spool for generating braking force in cooperation with said first brake member; andspool rotational-speed control means for changing relative position of said second brake member with respect to said first brake member depending on rotational speed of said spool, thereby controlling rotational speed of said spool in said spool free rotation state.
