PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a handle body equipped with a knob part to be surely gripped both during high-speed winding and during high-load winding and a fishing reel.SOLUTION: A first curved surface 55 being a curved surface in parallel with the direction of a second shaft line T2 is formed on the outer peripheral surface at the opposite side of an arm part 35 in the direction of a knob shaft line S of a knob body part 51. Preferably the first curved surface 55 is arranged at least in a range from a middle position between the knob shaft line S and an end part of a small size side to a middle position between the knob shaft line S and an end part of a large size side concerning the direction of a first shaft line T1. The first curved surface 55 constitutes a line segment in parallel with a second shaft line T2 on a cross section cut vertically to the first shaft line T1 in a range in which the first curved surface 55 is formed concerning the direction of the first shaft line T1. Namely, the first curved surface 55 is a line segment constituting curved surface for constituting a line segment by the cross section cut vertically to the first shaft line T1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】高速巻き時及び高負荷時の両方において確実に握持可能なつまみ部を備えるハンドル本体及び魚釣り用リールを提供すること。【解決手段】つまみ本体部51のつまみ軸線S方向についてアーム部35と反対側の外周面には、第2の軸線T2方向に平行な曲面である第1の曲面55が設けられている。第1の曲面55は、第1の軸線T1方向について、少なくともつまみ軸線Sと小寸法側の端部との中間位置からつまみ軸線Sと大寸法側の端部との中間位置までの範囲に渡って設けられていることが好ましい。第1の軸線T1方向について第1の曲面55が設けられる範囲で第1の軸線T1に垂直に切断した断面では、第1の曲面55は第2の軸線T2に平行な線分を構成する。すなわち、第1の曲面55は、第1の軸線T1に垂直に切断した断面で線分を構成する線分構成曲面である。【選択図】図3
