You can easily locate and add brake blocks. It's capable of handling chinnook salmon, in-river, no boat, shore-fishing, up to 50+ pounds. If you have a dremel or other rotary tool, and an old broken fly rod tip section, you can make your own brake blocks. Or you can take the clear plastic pass tube from a squirt bottle like Windex, or some such, and use lengths of that, cut off with scissors.

what does the brakes block do guys

They apply centrifugal force in the ring on the bottom of the brake plate. As the spool makes velocity on a cast, the brakes rub against the inner ring, slowing it down a little bit, to help prevent "professional over-runs".... or in everyday parlance: backlashes and bird's nests.  Abu 7's came with four of each size, small and large, with the small being on the reel, the large in with the oil in the box.
