PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel having a fishing line-engaging device using properly both functions of a line stop and a delivery stopper (adjusting a terminal tackle to a fish swimming layer) without trouble during actual fishing, and making a wide response.SOLUTION: The fishing reel includes the fishing line-engaging device 30 designed to form a through-hole 17 in a spool 10 for winding a fishing line L, insert a shaft part 40b of an engaging member 40 having a fishing line engaging part 40a into the through-hole 17, elastically engage the shaft part in an anti-slip manner, and thereby allow the nipping of the fishing line between the fishing line engaging part 40a and the spool 10. The fishing line-engaging device 30 includes guide means 45 and 46 for guiding the engaging member 40 movably against urging force so that force acting through the fishing line L on the engaging member 40 escapes in the shaft direction of the spool 10 and in at least one direction forming a prescribed angle to the shaft direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】糸止め及び繰り出しストッパ(棚取り)の両機能を実釣時に支障なく使い分けることができ、幅広い対応を行なうことができる釣糸係止装置を備える魚釣用リールを提供する。【解決手段】本発明の魚釣用リールは、釣糸Lを巻回するスプール10に貫通孔17を形成し、該貫通孔17に釣糸係止部40aを有する係止部材40の軸部40bを挿入して弾性的に抜け止め係止することにより、釣糸係止部40aとスプール10との間で釣糸を挟着可能とする釣糸係止装置30を備える。釣糸係止装置30は、釣糸Lを介して係止部材40に作用する力をスプール10の軸方向と該軸方向に対して所定の角度を成す少なくとも1つの方向とに逃がすように係止部材40を付勢力に抗して移動可能に案内する案内手段45,46を有する。【選択図】図2
