The present invention relates to a fishing reel, wherein, in the case where a tackle is caught by various obstacles during fishing and a user intends to cut and spool a fishing line by simply pushing a snap button provided on a frame to pull a fishing rod in a state where a locking protrusion is inserted into a rectangular or trapezoidal locking groove of a locking gear connected to a spool shaft, the fishing line maintains a tight tension state because the tackle is caught by the obstacle, and a stop protrusion maintains a constrained state where the stop protrusion is firmly engaged to a stop groove of a stop gear rotated by a predetermined angle due to the rotation of a spool, and the stop protrusion is thus not separated from the stop groove, thereby being capable of simply cutting the line and minimizing the loss of the line. The fishing reel having a snap button for spool lock according to the present invention comprises: a frame comprising a palm side first panel, a gear side second panel, a spool arrangement space part disposed between the first and second panels, and a connection part comprising a first rib which maintains the space part and connects the first panel and the second panel and to which a fishing rod mounting member is coupled a spool disposed in the space part and shaft-coupled between the first and second panels a handle connected to the shaft a locking part comprising a locking gear connected to the shaft of the spool, a snap button provided to the first or second panel, a normally projecting spring of the snap button, and a locking protrusion connected to the snap button and inserted into a locking groove between teeth of the locking gear when pushed.COPYRIGHT KIPO 2016본 발명은 낚시할 때 채비가 각종 장애물에 걸렸을 경우 낚싯줄을 끊어 회수하고자 할 때 프레임에 구비된 스냅버튼을 간단히 눌러 잠금돌기가 스풀 샤프트와 연결된 잠금기어의 사각 또는 사다리꼴 잠금홈에 삽입되도록 한 상태에서 낚싯대를 당기면 장애물에 채비가 걸려 있어 줄이 팽팽한 긴장상태를 유지하고 스풀의 회전에 따라 소정 각도 회전한 잠금기어의 정지홈에 정지돌기가 꽉 끼어 구속된 상태를 유지하고 정지돌기가 정지홈에서 분리되지 않게 되어 간편하게 라인 절단 및 라인 손실 최소화가 이루어질 수
