ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel having a brake mechanism including a brake drum provided on a spool receiving a fishing line thereon. A line tension sensor for determining the tension of the fishing line is operatively connected to the brake mechanism which includes at least one brake for engaging the brake drum connected with the spool. Under the control of the line tension sensor the brake mechanism is engaged with the brake drum for pre-braking by friction the rotating spool at initial slack in the fishing line. The brake mechanism is engaged with the brake drum for abruptly stopping by wedging the spool at slack beyond the initial slack. Under the control of the line tension sensor, the brake mechanism frictionally engages the brake drum for pre-braking the rotating spool when slack is initially sensed in the fishing line. When slack beyond that initially sensed occurs, at least one brake of the brake mechanism is wedged against the brake drum for abruptly stopping the spool.
