Abstract
A reversal preventive mechanism of a silent type is provided for use in a fishing reel which is capable of playing out a fishing line smoothly when the fishing line is played out by means of the reversed rotation of the handle. A spring is wound on a portion of a rachet wheel circumscribing a drive shaft so that the spring is rotated by the rachet wheel through friction. A control member for separating a securing claw from the rachet wheel is rotatably mounted on the portion of the rachet wheel and connected to said spring in such a manner that an engagement portion of the control member is held by and interposed between extension portions of the spring. A pair of pins are provided to regulate the rotation of the control member. The engagement portion of the control member serves to prevent the undesired contraction of the spring when it abuts against either of the pins.
