A fishing reel comprises a spool 14 which is provided in a rotatable manner with respect to a reel body 12, and around which a fishing line 24 is wound, and a winding mechanism 18 which is provided coaxially with the spool 14. Between the spool 14 and winding mechanism 18, a drag part 16, which transmits rotation of the winding mechanism 18 to the spool 14 at or below a predetermined torque, is provided. The winding mechanism 18 is provided with a power transmission member 44 provided coaxially with a main rotation shaft 30 which rotates with the spool 14 via a one-way clutch 40. A winding ring 45 provided coaxially with the power transmission member 44, a winding cord 47 whose one end is fixed to the winding ring 45, and which is wound around the winding ring 45, and a spiral spring 46 which rotates the power transmission member 44 in a rewinding direction are provided. By pulling out the winding cord 47, the winding ring 45 is rotated and the spool 14 is rotated as one unit, and the fishing line 24 is wound. The winding ring 45 is rotated with the spiral spring 46 in a rewinding direction, and the winding cord 47 is rewound around the winding ring 45 with the one-way clutch 40 without torque being transmitted to the spool 14.
