Abstract
An improved damping structure for a bait casting reel with magnetic spool damping structure. Fibers or the like are provided on a member associated with the spool and moving in a magnetic field and disrupt air flow in the magnetic field as the reel is operated. The resultant damping force on the spool is a combination of forces due to the rotation of the member in the magnetic field and the disruption of the air flow by reason of the placement of the fibers in the magnetic field.
