ABSTRACT:
A friction brake for a fishing reel comprises an arcuate strip of bendable plastic that is cantilevered from a fixed flange of a fishing reel and extends over and generally concentrically with a rotating flange of the reel. When braking action is required to stop or restrain the playing-out of fishing line, pressure on the free edge of the brake causes contact between a brake surface and the outer periphery of the rotating reel flange. The degree of braking depends upon the area of the brake that is brought into contact with the rotating reel flange by the fisherman and upon the magnitude of force applied by the fisherman's hand onto the brake. The brake attaches at its fixed edge to the non-moving portion of the reel by means of an adhesive layer. Alternative embodiments that contact the fishing line extend from fixed portions of the reel.
