Abstract
A backlash prevention device for a fishing reel where the spool is connected to a nonmagnetic electroconductive member associated with brake magnets that generate eddy currents in the nonmagnetic electroconductive member to provide a braking force on the spool. The backlash prevention device includes moveable magnets for varying the braking force. Magnets on the yoke carrying the moveable magnets are detected to determine when the brake magnets are aligned in either the maximum or minimum braking position.
