Abstract

A backlash preventing device for a fishing reel which comprises a spool, a non-magnetic component provided with said spool, magnets for applying magnetic fluxes of a predetermined strength to said non-magnetic component for generating a braking torque at the initiation of the reel usage; there being an adjustor for controlling the strength of the magnetic flux to be exerted. A clutch mechanism is provided for the spool and with there being a timing control element for maintaining said braking force in spool rotational restraining condition for a period determined adequate to prevent backlashing.
