PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel, when casting, preventing an increase in release resistance irrelevant to a spool winding amount of a fishing line to be wound around a spool.SOLUTION: The fishing reel includes a level wind device 50 having a fishing line guide body 60 in which a fishing line fed from a spool is inserted and that reciprocates between left/right side plates. The fishing line guide body 60 includes a fishing line release part 68 horizontally wide in a longitudinal direction that reduces the release resistance of the fishing line in a fishing line released state a fishing line guide part 67 horizontally narrow in a longitudinal direction that is formed at a lower part of the fishing line release part 68, and guides the fishing line to the spool in the fishing line winding state and a regulation part 70 that regulates movement of the fishing line from the fishing line release part 68 to the fishing line guide part 67 in the fishing line released state.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】キャスティング操作時に、スプールに巻回される釣糸の糸巻量に関係なく、放出抵抗が増加することのない魚釣用リールを提供する。【解決手段】魚釣用リールは、スプール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を有する。釣糸案内体60は、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釣糸解放部68と、この釣糸解放部68の下方に形成され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が釣糸解放部68から釣糸案内部67へ移動するのを規制する規制部70と、を有する。【選択図】図1
