The reel is of the fixed spool type with rear brake, and comprises a drive shaft a first end of which supports the spool, a main spool brake with an operating member actuatable from the rear of the reel by the user, an auxiliary braking lever comprising a grippable part forming a control member for pushing a braking member against a braking surface of the shaft, wherein a resilient transmission means is inserted directly between the grippable part of the auxiliary braking lever and the braking member for transmitting the auxiliary braking force, and the auxiliary braking lever is urged by resilient return means bringing it back to the rest position.

Brake for fish casting reel

A fishing reel with a removable rotatable spool has a centrifugal brake including a fixed cylindrical brake drum. Radial grooves in a lateral face of the spool, or in a casing removably fixed on a lateral face of the spool, house brake blocks, balls or rollers which when the spool rotates move radially outwards and coact with the brake drum. The brake blocks can be interchanged to vary the braking force by removal and insertion thereof through lateral openings of the grooves. These openings are normally obturated by a cover held against said lateral face of the spool, but can be uncovered by twisting the cover after the spool has been removed from the reel.

Centrifugal brake for a fishing reel

In a fishing reel, axial displacement of a shaft to modify a drag adjustment is provided by angularly displacing a control member having an integral actuating lever to axially displace an angularly fixed member having a profile cooperating with the control member. Both said control member and the member of complementary profile are secured to the shaft end by a single removable screw member, which is axially but not angularly fixed to the member of complementary profile to enable removal and replacement of the three members as a unit.
