Abstract
A fishing reel which is so constructed that a spool shaft having a spool is journalled to a frame having first and second side plates opposite to each other at a regular interval, and a support shaft fixed to the first side plate supports a drive mechanism comprising a tubular shaft, main gear, drag mechanism and handle bar, so that the drive mechanism is driven to rotate the spool shaft. The tubular shaft rotatably supports a cylinder, which perforates at its axially outer end through an outer plate attached to the first side plate outwardly thereof, extends outwardly therefrom, and has at the axially inner portion an end plate, the cylinder being provided at its outer periphery with the main gear and housing a plurality of friction plates constituting the drag mechanism, the outer plate having an insertion bore larger enough to insert therethrough the cylinder, the support shaft being provided with a stopper to restrain the drive mechanism from moving axially outwardly with respect to the support shaft, so that the stopper is removed therefrom to make it possible to remove the drive mechanism from the frame without removing the outer plate therefrom.
