Abstract:
In a dual-bearing reel a braking device for braking a spool fitted in a reel body of the dual-bearing reel, the dual-bearing reel braking device comprising:a rotary member supported in the reel body to be rotatable yet axially immobile relative to the reel body; a plurality of braking members for moving under centrifugal force, movably fitted on said rotary member; a stationary member non-rotatably fitted on the reel body, said stationary member being axially movable relative to said rotary member for contact in differing frictional states with said braking members shifted under centrifugal force; coupling means for non-rotatably coupling said rotary member to a linking member that is linked to the spool, such that said rotary member is axially movable with respect to the spool; and braking force adjusting means for shifting said stationary member in the axial direction to adjust braking force developing from said braking members contacting said stationary member.
