ABSTRACT:
A braking apparatus for a fishing reel comprising: a carrying structure for carrying a braking surface; at least one turnable cam including at least one ramp segment having an outer end and a base end; at least one interacting member, projecting from the carrying structure, for interacting with the cam; a first retaining feature at the base end; and a second retaining feature following the outer end. The cam can be turned to selectively move the interacting member to the first and second retaining features. When the interacting member is retained by the first retaining feature, the braking surface will be located at a first position. When the interacting member is retained by the second retaining feature, the braking surface will be located at a second position different from the first position. The inventive apparatus further comprises at least one biasing member for providing a biasing force such that, when the interacting member is positioned between the base end and the outer end of the ramp segment, the biasing force will act to cause the interacting member to be received by the first retaining feature.
