PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel that includes a fishing line guiding body having a simple construction and capable of reducing the release resistance of a fishing line and compactifying the longitudinal length of a reel body.SOLUTION: The fishing reel comprises: a spool 5A supported freely rotatably between the side plates of a reel body 2 and a level wind device 50 including a fishing line guiding body 60, into which a fishing line to be let off from the spool 5A is inserted and which moves reciprocally between the right and left side plates. The fishing line guiding body 60 includes: a transversely narrow fishing line guiding portion 67, supported, in front of the spool, interchangeably between a fishing line winding state and a fishing line releasing state and guiding the fishing line in the fishing line winding state to the spool a transversely wide opening 68 for reducing the releasing resistance of the fishing line in the fishing line releasing state and a regulation portion 69 for preventing the fishing line from leaving the fishing line guiding portion in the fishing line winding state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】構造が簡単で釣糸の放出抵抗を小さくすることができ、リール本体の前後方向の長さをコンパクト化することが可能な釣糸案内体を備えた魚釣用リールを提供する。【解決手段】魚釣用リールは、リール本体2の側板間に回転自在に支持されたスプール5Aと、スプール5Aから繰り出される釣糸を挿通させると共に、左右側板間で往復移動する釣糸案内体60を備えたレベルワインド装置50とを有する。釣糸案内体60は、スプール前方で釣糸巻き取り状態と釣糸放出状態で切り換え可能に支持されると共に、釣糸巻き取り状態で釣糸をスプールに案内する左右方向に幅狭の釣糸案内部67と、釣糸放出状態で釣糸の放出抵抗を軽減する左右方向に幅広の開口部68と、釣糸巻き取り状態で釣糸を釣糸案内部から離脱させない規制部69とを有する。【選択図】図1
