PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suitably prevent the occurrence of wear, damages or the like in members disposed on the sides of the side frames of a reel body.SOLUTION: This fishing reel includes: a crutch mechanism which is disposed in the reel body 1 and is used for switching a spool 5a to a power transmission state or a power non-transmission state by the movement operation of an operation member; and a slide-contact member 40B attached to the portion facing the operation member on one side of a side frame 2b and slidably contacting the operation member. The slide-contact member 40B has fitting portions 44, 45 for fitting into through-holes 2e, 2f disposed in the side frame 2b, and the fitting portions 44, 45 can be fitted from one side of the side frame 2b into the penetrated holes 2e, 2f to expose to the other side of the side frame 2b and function as engagement portions engageable with a member disposed on the other side.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】リール本体の側部フレームの側方に配置される部材の摩耗や傷等の発生を好適に防止する。【解決手段】リール本体1に設けられ、操作部材の移動操作により、スプール5aを動力伝達状態と非動力伝達状態とに切換えるクラッチ機構を有し、側部フレーム2bの一側面における操作部材との対向部に取り付けられ、操作部材に摺接する摺接部材40Bを備え、摺接部材40Bは、側部フレーム2bに設けられた貫通孔2e,2fに嵌入する嵌入部44,45を有しており、嵌入部44,45は、側部フレーム2bの一側面から貫通孔2e,2fに嵌入されて側部フレーム2bの他側面に露出可能であり、かつ、他側面に設けられた部材が係合可能な係合部として機能することを特徴とする。【選択図】図2
