PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel having a fishing line guide capable of reducing the release resistance of a fishing line as much as possible and capable of winding the fishing line stably at a casting time.SOLUTION: A fishing reel comprises a spool 5A for winding a fishing line thereon, and a fishing line guide 60 for inserting therethrough the fishing line let off from the spool 5A. The fishing line guide 60 includes a transversely narrow fishing line guide 67 for guiding the fishing line in a taken-up state around the spool, and a transversely wide opening 68 for reducing the release resistance of the fishing line being released. Moreover, a lateral width W of the opening 68 is set at 50% to 200% of a fishing line winding width WS of the spool. An inner side upper position P of the opening 68 is set at 70% to 100% of a radius D of the spool. An inner side lower position P1 of the opening 68 is set at 100% to 120% of a bottom diameter D1 of the spool.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】キャスティング時において、釣糸の放出抵抗を可能な限り軽減するとともに、安定した釣糸の巻回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、釣糸が巻回されるスプール5Aと、スプール5Aから繰り出される釣糸を挿通する釣糸案内体60とを有する。釣糸案内体60は、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とを有する。そして、開口部68の左右幅Wをスプールの釣糸巻回幅WSの50%~200%に設定し、開口部68の内側上部位置Pを前記スプールの半径Dの70%~100%に設定し、開口部68の内側下部位置P1をスプールの底径D1の100%~120%に設定する。【選択図】図1
