Claim:
A centrifugal brake device for a dual-bearing reel, the centrifugal brake device configured to brake a spool rotatably attached to a reel unit by centrifugal force, the centrifugal brake device comprising: a rotation member configured to be rotated at least in conjunction with rotation of the spool in a fishing-line releasing direction; a first brake shoe including a first end and a second end, the first brake shoe pivotably attached to the rotation member about an axis arranged in parallel to a rotation shaft of the spool, the axis arranged between the first end and a center of gravity of the first brake shoe; and a brake drum disposed inwards of the first brake shoe in a radial direction of the rotation member, the brake drum having different diameters and including an outer peripheral surface, the outer peripheral surface being configured to contact with the first end of the first brake shoe, the brake drum including a tapered surface on the outer peripheral surface thereof, a diameter of the tapered surface being reduced towards the spool.
