<p>A dual-bearing reel-braking device for minutely adjusting braking force and enabling alteration of braking-force adjustment ranges. The dual-bearing reel centrifugal braking mechanism brakes the spool (12) under centrifugal force, and includes a cylindrical brake element (51), a plurality of shifters (52), a switching mechanism (59), and a shifting mechanism (54). The brake element (51) is fitted non-rotatably in the reel unit and allowed to shift in the spool axial direction. The shifters (52) are fitted to a plurality of guide shafts (56) on which they are allowed to shift, stood radially on the rotary member (53), which is coupled with the spool (12). Differing numbers of the shifters (52) are brought into contact with the brake element (51) by shifting the brake element (51) axially. The switching mechanism (59) switches the posture of the shifters (52) between an inoperative posture in which they cannot contact the brake element (51), and an operative posture in which they can, by changing the positions of the shifters (52). The shifting mechanism (54) shifts the brake element (51) axially. <IMAGE></p> |
