PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel capable of stably imparting the spring force of a spring member to another member.SOLUTION: A fishing reel 1 includes: a spool 120 for winding a fishing line and a drag mechanism 130 for controlling delivery of the fishing line. The drag mechanism 130 includes: an adjustment knob 131 a pressing member 132 for giving braking force to the spool 120 and a spring member 133 interposed between the adjustment knob 131 and the pressing member 132 to press the pressing member 132. The spring member 133 is formed of a helical wire material 133a having a rectangular cross section. A sectional secondary moment concerning an axis substantially perpendicular to the axial direction of the spring member 133 passing through the center of a figure of an axial cross section of the wire material 133a is minimum. The drag mechanism 130 is formed with: a lateral wall face facing an outer peripheral face of an end of the spring member 133 and a bottom face in contact with the axially end face of the sprint member 133.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】ばね部材のばね力を安定して他の部材に付与することができる魚釣用リールを提供することを課題とする。【解決手段】釣糸が巻回されるスプール120と、釣糸の繰り出しを制御するドラグ機構130と、を備えた魚釣用リール1であって、ドラグ機構130は、調節ノブ131と、スプール120に制動力を付与する押圧部材132と、調節ノブ131と押圧部材132との間に介設され、押圧部材132を押圧するばね部材133と、を備え、ばね部材133は、螺旋状の線材133aからなり、線材133aは矩形断面であり、線材133aの軸断面の図心を通るばね部材133の軸方向に対して略垂直な軸に関する断面二次モーメントが最小であり、ドラグ機構130には、ばね部材133の端部の外周面に対峙する側壁面と、ばね部材133の軸方向の端面に接触する底面と、が形成されている。【選択図】図2
