Abstract:
In a dual-bearing reel unit rotatively carrying a spool on its rotary shaft, wherein a rotor is coupled to the spool for rotation together therewith, a centrifugal braking device for braking the spool under centrifugal force, the dual-bearing reel centrifugal braking device comprising:a plurality of guide shafts disposed radially on the rotor; a plurality of shifters fitted to said guide shafts to allow axial shift thereon and to be pivotable around the shafts, therein for shifting diametrically with respect to the spool; a cylindrical brake element disposed non-rotatably with respect to the reel unit and outer-peripheral endwise of said plurality of shifters, for contact with said shifters when shifted spool-diametrically; and a switching means for translating said shifters around the shafts into different rotary positions to switch said shifters between an inoperative state wherein contact on said brake element is not possible and an operative state wherein contact is possible.
