==== Centrifugal braking ====
Centrifugal braking uses a series of spring-loaded "blocks" on the spool, which can move radially outwards under [[centrifugal force]] when the spool is spinning rapidly. These blocks each have a rubber piece that can rub against the reel chassis, creating additional friction that slows down the spool until the blocks retract back under spring tension. Some reels, such as the Shimano SVS Infinity, have designs that allow each centrifugal blocks to be locked and temporarily disabled.
