Abstract
A fishing reel having a reel body, a feed shaft attached to the reel body and forming in its periphery a spiral groove for feeding a fishing line from the reel and a transmission member attached to an end of the feed shaft for rotation therewith. The feed shaft is disposed continously with an attaching shaft axially extending through the transmission member. The attaching shaft integrally defines a non-round retaining portion at an end of the attaching shaft, with the retaining portion projecting radially and outwardly relative to the attaching shaft. The transmission member forms an anti-rotation face peripherally engageable with the retaining portion so as to prevent axial rotation of the transmission member relative to the attaching shaft, a retaining face axially engageable with the retaining portion so as to prevent withdrawal of the transmission member from the attaching shaft, and a through hole for inserting the attaching shaft therethrough. The through hole has a non-round shape which shape allows insertion of the retaining portion only when the transmission member is out of an axial setting position thereof relative to the attaching shaft.
