Abstract
A braking device for a dual bearing reel includes a spool braking unit and a spool control unit. The spool braking unit includes a rotor element that rotates in association with the spool and includes a plurality of magnets sequentially arranged in the rotational direction, a plurality of serially connected coils that are disposed around a periphery of the rotor element in a circumferential direction, and a switch element that is connected to both ends of the plurality of the serially connected plurality of coils. The spool control unit electrically controls the spool braking unit, and includes a circuit board on which the plurality of coils are installed and which is mounted on the reel unit, and a controller that is mounted on the circuit board. This way, insulation on the coil and on a circuit board and secured. It is also easier to assemble a braking device.
