Abstract
A fishing reel is formed of a spool, a drag mechanism, a transmission which transmits rotation of the spool to the drag mechanism, and a one-way transmission mechanism mounted on the transmission for transmitting drive to the drag mechanism only when the spool rotates in a fishing line unwinding direction. The fishing reel also has a transmission switching mechanism capable of establishing a condition in which power transmission between the spool and the drag mechanism is broken.
