Abstract
In a centrifugal force-operated brake device for a fishing reel, brake shoes (20) are slidably mounted on supporting rods (19) which are turned together with the spool. The brake shoes are brought into sliding contact with the inner cylindrical surface (15a) of a brake cylinder (15) by centrifugal force, thereby braking the spool. The supporting rods (19) are swingably supported by a supporting member (17), so that their angular position relative to the supporting member is changeable.
