Braking device that brakes spool and fishing reel provided with the same

Abstract

A braking device of a double bearing reel that brakes a spool rotatably mounted on a reel body of a double bearing reel on which a fishing line may be wound, the braking device provided with a braked unit attached to the spool, a braking unit that applies a braking force to the braked unit, a motor capable of driving a part of the braked unit, a reduction mechanism that transmits drive of the motor to a part of the braked unit, and a power supply that supplies electric power to the motor, in which a reduction ratio r of the reduction mechanism satisfies r>Mmax/C when holding torque of the motor is set to C, and maximum torque required to move the braked unit is set to Mmax.
