Abstract
A fishing reel of a double bearing type is provided in which the center of gravity of the reel and handle position are situated nearer to the position of the hand holding the reel to thereby be able to perform the fishline take-up operation of the handle stably. A fishing reel of an embodiment includes a reel main body which includes two left and right side frames. A support plate and a reel side plate are mounted on the outside of the left side frame, while a reel side plate is mounted on the outside of the right side frame. A spool is interposed between the left and right side frames and is fixed to a spool shaft. The spool is structured such that it can be rotated by a handle. A handle shaft is disposed in the rear of the spool shaft on the opposite side to a fishline play-out direction. Between the left and right side frames, a level wind device is disposed in front of the spool on the fishline play-out direction side.
