Abstract
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.
