PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spinning reel which can stably maintain a click performance and a drag performance without receiving the effect of lining material wearing accompanied by the passage of use.SOLUTION: This spinning reel 10 in which a pressing plate 64 is mounted, in state capable of being moved in the axial direction and incapable of being rotated, on a handle shaft 36 supported in a reel main body 12 through a reverse rotation-preventing mechanism 40 a frictional connection force between the handle shaft 36 and the driving gear 50 of a line-winding driving mechanism 22 can be adjusted by moving the pressing plate 64 in the axial direction the rotation of the driving gear 50 rotated by delivering a line is informed with a sound-producing mechanism 72, is characterized in that the sound-producing mechanism 72 has a sound-producing pin 74 which is disposed in the pressing plate 64, whose tip end portion is outward spring-biased from the outer periphery of the pressing plate 64 in the radial outer direction, and in which a sound-producing member 78 on whose periphery an uneven portion 76 for producing sounds on the disengagement of the tip end portion of the sound-producing pin 74 is disposed is integrally disposed with the driving gear 50.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】使用経過に伴うライニング材の磨耗の影響を受けることなく、クリック性能およびドラグ性能を安定して維持することのできる魚釣用リールを提供すること。【解決手段】逆転防止機構40を介してリール本体12で支持されるハンドル軸36に、軸方向に移動可能でかつ回転不能に押圧板64を装着し、この押圧板64を軸方向に移動することにより、釣糸巻取り駆動機構22の駆動歯車50とハンドル軸36との間の摩擦結合力を調節可能とし、釣糸の繰り出しで回転する駆動歯車50の回転を発音機構72を介して報知する魚釣用リール10であって、発音機構72は、押圧板64の内部に装着されかつ先端部が押圧板64の外周から径方向外方に突出するように外方に向けて音出しピン74をバネ付勢し、この音出しピン74の先端部が係脱したときに発音する凹凸部76を周面に配置した発音体78を駆動歯車50に一体的に設けられた魚釣用リール。【選択図】図1
