PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel having a simple structure, capable of compacting a length in the front-to-back direction of a reel body, and including a fishing line guide capable of effectively reducing release resistance and winding resistance of a fishing line.SOLUTION: A fishing reel has: a spool 5A for winding a fishing line and a level winding device 50 including a fishing line guide 60 allowing the fishing line sent out from the spool 5A to be inserted and moving reciprocally in linkage with rotating operation of a handle. The fishing line guide 60 has: an opening part 68 which is supported rotatably in the front-to-back direction between the fishing line wound state and the fishing line released state, and which is wide in the right and left direction where the fishing line is positioned in the fishing line released state a fishing line guiding part 67 which is narrow in the right and left direction where the fishing line is positioned in the fishing line wound state and a regulation part 69 which prevents the fishing line from releasing from the fishing line guiding part in the fishing line wound state. The regulation part 69 is supported rotatably by the fishing line guide 60, and can guide the fishing line to the fishing line guiding part 67, coming in contact with the fishing line rotatably in the fishing line wound state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】構造が簡単で、リール本体の前後方向の長さをコンパクト化することができるとともに、釣糸の放出抵抗および巻き取り抵抗を効果的に軽減できる釣糸案内体を備えた魚釣用リールを提供する。【解決手段】魚釣用リールは、釣糸巻回用のスプール5Aと、スプール5Aから繰り出される釣糸を挿通し、ハンドルの回転操作に連動して往復移動する釣糸案内体60を備えたレベルワインド装置50とを有する。釣糸案内体60は、釣糸巻き取り状態と釣糸放出状態との間で前後方向に回動可能に支持されるとともに釣糸放出状態で釣糸が位置する左右方向に幅広の開口部68と、釣糸巻き取り状態で釣糸が位置する左右方向に幅狭の釣糸案内部67と、釣糸巻き取り状態で釣糸を釣糸案内部から離脱させない規制部69とを有する。規制部69は、釣糸案内体60に回転可能に支持されており、釣糸巻き取り状態時に釣糸に回転可能に接触して釣糸を釣糸案内部67へ案内できる。【選択図】図2
