A centrifugal brake device for a dual-bearing reel is provided. The centrifugal brake device is configured to brake a spool. The centrifugal brake device includes a rotation member, a first brake shoe and a brake drum. The rotation member is configured to be rotated at least in conjunction with rotation of the spool in a fishing-line releasing direction. The first brake shoe includes first and second ends, where the first brake shoe is pivotably attached to the rotation member about an axis arranged in parallel to a rotation shaft of the spool, and the axis is arranged between the first end and a center of gravity of the first brake shoe. The brake drum is disposed inwards of the first brake shoe in a radial direction. The brake drum has different diameters and includes an outer peripheral surface being configured to contact with the first end.
