Abstract:
1. A spool brake device for a dual-bearing reel configured to apply a braking force to a spool which is rotatably mounted to a reel unit of the dual-bearing reel, the brake device comprising: a conductor configured to be rotated in conjunction with the spool; a magnet configured to move along an axial direction of a spool shaft of the spool with respect to the reel unit and face the conductor in a radial direction relative to the axis of the spool shaft; a braking force adjusting unit configured to adjust the braking force which is applied to the spool in accordance with a rotation of the spool by a magnetic force acting on the conductor when the conductor is rotated, in such a way to change magnetic fluxes acting on the conductor by changing an axially facing range between the conductor and the magnet according to the movement of the magnet along the axial direction relative to the reel unit; and a first tube including an engaged portion formed along a quadratic curve.
