Abstract

In a fishing reel of a double bearing type, a spool including two flanges respectively on the two sides thereof is supported between the two side plates of a reel main body in such a manner that the spool can be freely rotated when a fishline is played out, and, as a brake mechanism, the brake portion of a brake device for preventing the over-rotation of the spool by use of an eddy current caused by a magnet or by use of the centrifugal force of a brake shoe is stored and located within the fishline winding barrel portion of the spool, whereby the axial direction of a spool shaft can be reduced and thus the reel main body can be made compact.
