Abstract
In a double bearing fishing reel, one end portion of the spool shaft rotatably supported between the right and left side frames of the reel body in such a manner as to be rotated with the handle is extended through a bearing hole formed in a male-threaded protrusion which is provided on one of the side frames, and a protrusion is formed on the cylindrical wall of a brake adjusting screw member which is threadably engaged with the male-threaded protrusion to abut against the spool shaft in the axial direction, while a retaining member is provided on the one side frame in such a manner that the protrusion and the retaining member are engageable with each other in the axial direction, whereby the brake adjusting screw member is restrained form loosening or coming off. Further, the reel has a plurality of supporting bars extending between the side frames, with one of the supporting bars at the upper portion of the reel body having a soft pad member on its upper surface to permit a thumb to be placed on the pad member when the reel is held by hand on the side opposite from the reel handle.
