Abstract
A fishing reel having a reel body, a spool rotatably supported to the reel body, a spool braking plate for braking the spool, a unidirectional rotation transmitting mechanism disposed between the spool and the spool braking plate, the mechanism having anti-reverse teeth and a stopper claw. The mechanism prevents reverse rotation of the spool through engagement between the anti-reverse teeth and the stopper claw. The fishing reel is characterized by a stopper-claw control member attached to a rotary member opposing to the spool braking plate to be rotatable within a predetermined angular range. The control member has a control portion engageable with the stopper claw for controlling engagement and disengagement of the stopper claw.
