Abstract
A fishing reel wherein a spool is rotatably supported on a spool shaft mounted between first and second side frames. A cast-control member is supported on the second side frame and positioned at one axial side of the spool. The cast-control member is movable axially of the spool and has an operating portion operable outside the second side frame. A contact member has an annular contact portion for contacting the cast-control member. The contact member is held at an axial outer face of the spool such that the contact member does not rotate relative to the spool. When the cast-control member is moved axially with respect to the spool to contact the contact member, the cast-control member applies a rotation resisting force by means of the contact member to the spool with respect to free rotation thereof.
