PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel capable of imparting spring force of a spring member stably to another member.SOLUTION: The fishing reel 1 includes a spool 120 for winding a fishing line and a drag mechanism 130 for controlling delivery of the fishing line when the fishing line is delivered from the spool 120. The drag mechanism 130 includes an adjustment knob 131, a pressing member 132 for giving controlling force to the spool 120, and the spring member 133 interposed between the adjustment knob 131 and the pressing member 132 for pressing the pressing member 132 so as to give the controlling force to the spool 120 by adjustment of the adjustment knob 131. The spring member 133 is formed of a wire rod 133a formed in a spiral shape, wherein a cross sectional secondary moment concerning a substantially vertical axis with respect to the axial direction of the spring member 133 passing through the center of figure of an axial cross section of the wire rod 133a is minimum.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,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、スプール120から釣糸が繰り出される際に、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、調節ノブ131の調節により、スプール120に制動力が付与されるように、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、螺旋状に形成された線材133aからなり、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る。【選択図】図2
