The front brake on fishing reels is located at the front of the reel and allows precise and fine adjustment of the drag. This type of brake is popular for its precision and reliability and is often used on reels for float fishing techniques (a fishing method that involves placing the lure at any depth), feeder fishing (a technique where a feeder is used to feed the fish, to which a bait mixture is constantly added) and spinning (a fishing technique using artificial lures, ideal for predatory fish). It allows a quick reaction and adjustment of the braking force during the fight against the fish.
