ABSTRACT:
A spool braking/releasing device which applies a braking force to a spool shaft being in a free rotation state and releases the braking force applied to the spool shaft comprising a braking movable member provided at the rear end of the spool shaft and adapted to move longitudinally of the spool shaft and an actuating lever adapted to move the movable member between its braking position and its releasing position. The actuating lever has a finger grip portion disposed just beneath the fishing rod so that the fisherman can manipulate the actuating lever by using his hand gripping the fishing rod. The actuating lever can be operated by the double manipulation thereof, so that a proper frictional resistance can be applied to the rotating spool shaft. Accordingly, it is possible to easily apply an instant braking force to the spool shaft prior to the manipulation of a handle, depending on the fishing condition. Furthermore, there is no worry about an escaping of the fish and a backlash of the spool which may be caused by unskilled manipulation, thereby enabling the fishing efficiency to be improved.
