Abstract
A fishing reel is provided with a spool and a magnetic brake for reducing overrun of the spool. The spool has a frame member which rotatably supports the spool, a cylindrical electric conductor rotatable together with the spool, and a magnet holder having at least one magnet positioned at one side of the holder radially of the conductor and opposite thereto. The holder has a support unit which supports the holder to the frame member so that the magnet can be adjusted radially toward or away from the conductor to thereby adjust the braking of the conductor. The support means includes a control member which controls the holder to move toward the position where the magnet is adjusted.
