Abstract
The invention relates to fishing reels of the type having a line spool which is rotatable at high velocity by drag force from the line spool during casting, and in which the line spool supports a centrifugally actuable brake device which comprises a plurality of pins projecting radially from a part, fixed to the line spool, and brake members slidably mounted on the pins for braking cooperation at radial outer positions thereof with a circumferential stationary surface. The centrifugally actuable members are in the form of sleeves and the pins have heads at their radial outer ends, the inner end portion of each sleeve having an opening of reduced diameter and being elastically resilient to permit the insertion of the pin head into the sleeve by the exercising of substantial force, whereupon the sleeve is radially outwardly slidable on its associated pin to a position in which the pin head is in contact with the shoulder at the reduced inner diameter of the sleeve opening, whereby each sleeve is prevented from being unintentionally separated from the pin.
