Abstract

A brake structure for a reel comprising a rotary member rotatable in a spool transmission system, a centrifugal brake device including a brake block radially slidably mounted on the rotary member and a brake shoe attached to a fixing structure, and a position maintaining mechanism for allowing slide movement of the brake block to maintain the brake block in an operative position for effecting a braking operation and a retaining position for moving the brake block away from the brake shoe. The brake block is reversibly moved from the operative position to the retaining position upon release of the positional maintenance.
