A spool braking device includes a brake drum and a rotation structure. The brake drum is disposed in a reel body and positioned alongside a spool in an axial direction. The rotation structure is arranged between the spool and the brake drum in the axial direction. The rotation structure has a support, a brake shoe, and a biasing member. The support rotates in accordance with a spool shaft. The brake shoe has a center of gravity arranged outside of the brake drum in a radial direction. The brake shoe is configured to contact a tapered surface of the brake drum. The biasing member biases one of the support or the brake drum towards another one of the support or the brake drum. The one of the support or the brake drum is movable in the axial direction with respect to the another one of the support or the brake drum.
