Abstract
A brake system for use in a fishing reel of the type having a housing and a spool mounted for rotation relative to the housing about an axis. The brake system consists of a brake surface on the housing, a brake arm having a brake pad, with a brake surface press fit structure for retaining the brake arm in operative position on the spool for rotation therewith, and structure mounting the brake pad on the brake arm so that the brake surface on the brake pad moves biasably against the housing brake surface under a predetermined centrifugal force developed through rotation of the spool.
