What is the reason for the brake failure of the baitcasting reel?

Release star plate is not locked. Below is the relevant introduction: Magnetic brake reel: Main feature, there is an external magnetic adjustment knob, adjustable from 0 to 10 levels, with 10 being the maximum braking force. Baitcasting reel: The baitcasting reel is a type of turbine, mainly used for lure fishing, hence it is also called a lure reel. Compared to spinning reels, baitcasting reels offer higher casting accuracy, are smaller in size, and have easier line control. The drawback is that casting is harder to master, prone to line tangling, commonly referred to as 'bird's nest'. Generally, professional anglers prefer using baitcasting reels in lure fishing.
Having worked in the auto repair industry for over a decade, there are several common issues that often cause brake failure. First, the brake rotors may be worn out or warped, creating an uneven surface that resembles a washboard, leading to inconsistent friction and weak braking power. Second, brake pads may have aged or worn too thin, losing their grip on the rotors—much like how old shoes lose their tread. Third, air may have entered the hydraulic system or there could be a fluid leak, making the brake pedal feel spongy and unresponsive due to issues with the pump or brake lines. Fourth, a faulty brake booster can make braking feel unusually strenuous, a problem more common in older vehicles. Additionally, prolonged downhill driving with frequent hard braking can overheat and warp the rotors and pads, reducing braking efficiency. I recommend getting your brakes checked every six months—don’t wait for an accident to happen; safety comes first. If you experience brake failure, it's best to pull over immediately, switch wheels if possible, and inspect the issue—high-speed driving poses significant risks.
