Abstract
A fishing reel having a clutch mechanism including end planes (7g, 7i) formed, respectively, next to engaging recesses (7e, 7f) with which an engaging protrusion (8) rotated in the fishing line releasing direction comes into impact contact. The end planes (7g, 7i) form an increased thickness portion which enhances the mechanical strength of the engaging recesses (7e, 7f). Since the mechanical strength of the engaging recesses (7e, 7f) is enhanced, edge portions of the engaging recesses (7e, 7f) are not deformed or scraped away by the impact force caused when the engaging protrusion (8) collides with the engaging recesses (7e, 7f). Therefore, it is possible for the engaging protrusion (8) to engage the pinion engaging recesses (7e, 7f) smoothly, normally and positively.
