A fishing reel comprises a level wind device that evenly winds a fishing line around a spool rotatably supported between left and right side plates of a reel main body. The level wind device comprises a fishing line guide body through which a fishing line is inserted, and a rib that is provided in the fishing line guide body and prevents line entanglement, and the O-ring is disposed in the cylindrical portion so as to fill a gap between the rib and an opposing portion opposing the rib of the cylindrical portion of the level wind device. The rib has a shape for sliding the fishing line in contact with the cylindrical portion.

Fishing reel

A fishing reel includes a spool supported between side plates of a reel body through a spool shaft; and a clutch mechanism that switches between a power transmission state that winds a fishing line and a power cutoff state capable of unwinding a fishing line by moving a pinion gear of a winding drive mechanism in an axial direction of the spool shaft by operating the switching operation member provided on the reel body to engage and disengage clutch engagement portions of the spool shaft and the pinion gear, wherein, provided between the bearing that supports the spool shaft and the clutch engagement portion on the spool shaft side are: a first elastic portion applying an elastic force to an end of the pinion gear in the power transmission state; and a second elastic portion constantly energizing a side of the bearing in the axial direction of the spool shaft.
