A torque limiting device for a fishing reel is provided. The torque limiting device is configured to limit torque between a rotatable shaft member and a rotary member disposed on an outer peripheral side of the shaft member in the fishing reel. The torque limiting device includes a first pin member being disposed in the shaft member, where the first pin member is configured to protrude towards and retract from the rotary member and the first pin member has a first spherical tip, an urging member is disposed in the shaft member, where the urging member is configured to urge the first pin member towards the rotary member, and a first recess is disposed on the rotary member to allow the tip of the first pin member to be engaged therewith.本發明之課題係在於對雙軸承捲線器的扭力限制器,能將旋轉構件緊緻化。用以解決課題之手段為,扭力限制器(39)為用來限制作為旋轉的軸構件之手把軸(30)與配置於手把軸(30)的外周側並作為旋轉構件之第1齒輪(28)之間的扭力之裝置。扭力限制器(39)具備有:至少1個銷構件(51);至少1個彈推構件(52);及至少1個卡止凹部(53)。至少1個銷構件(51)為配置於手把軸(30),可朝第1齒輪(28)進退,且前端部被圓化之構件。至少1個彈推構件(52)係配置於手把軸(30),將銷構件(51)朝第1齒輪(28)彈推。至少1個卡止凹部(53)係形成於第1齒輪(28),可供銷構件(51)的前端部卡合。28‧‧‧第1齒輪30‧‧‧手把軸30a‧‧‧貫通孔39‧‧‧扭力限制器51‧‧‧銷構件51a‧‧‧頭部51b‧‧‧軸部52‧‧‧彈推構件53‧‧‧卡止凹部53a‧‧‧斜面53b‧‧‧圓筒面
