A one-way clutch unit for a fishing reel is disclosed. The one-way clutch is configured to brake a rotation of a shaft member of the fishing reel. The one-way clutch includes a rolling element and an outer member. The rolling element contacts the shaft member in a radial direction away from an axle of the shaft member. The outer member is disposed outside the rolling element in the radial direction. The outer member is configured to rotate in only one direction along a circumferential direction around the axle. The outer member includes a first external force receiving portion that receives a first external force in an axial direction of the shaft member.
