Abstract
In a brake device for use in a fishing reel which is used to apply a brake force to a spool and is also adjustable, a spring member used not only to maintain the moderation of the rotational direction of an adjust member but also to prevent the adjust member from being loosened is made up of a closed circular frame which is elastically deformable and fitted into a short cylindrical portion of a braking force adjust member. The spring member is further formed with an engaging projected portion and a securing portion both formed in the frame and respectively engaged with an engaging uneven portion and a lower engaging recessed portion of the adjust member. When the adjust member is rotated, moderation is given to the rotation of the adjust member by the action of the elastically deformation of the frame with the aid of the engaging projected portion and the engaging projected uneven portion.
