ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel having a frame and an operating mechanism for the fishing reel on the frame. The operating mechanism has a line carrying spool mounted to the frame for rotation relative to the frame around a first axis to retrieve line onto the fishing reel. The operating mechanism further has a magnetic brake assembly that cooperates with the spool. The operating mechanism further has an actuator assembly for selectively moving at least a part of the magnetic brake assembly in a path towards the spool to a first position and away from the spool to a second position. The actuator assembly has first and second cam surfaces and an actuator that is movable relative to the frame between third and fourth positions to thereby cause the first and second cam surfaces to be moved guidingly against and relative to each other as an incident of which the brake assembly is caused to move towards and away from the spool. The actuator assembly causes the brake assembly to move from the first position into the second position as an incident of the actuator moving from the third position into the fourth position and causes the brake assembly to move from the second position into the first position as an incident of the actuator moving from the fourth position into the third position. The first and second cam surfaces are configured so that as the actuator is moved at a constant rate between the third and fourth positions, the at least part of the brake assembly moves at a non-constant rate over at least part of the path between the first and second positions.
