PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing reel capable of reliably preventing erroneous operation by improving recognition accuracy of a clutch OFF state. SOLUTION: The fishing reel imparts a resistance force with a moderation feeling to the operation member 21 when the operation member 21 is pushed in by the pressing operation force and the spool is switched to the fishing line releasing state (clutch OFF state). The resistance applying means 80 and 82 are provided. [Selection diagram] Fig. 5【課題】クラッチOFF状態の認識精度を向上させて、誤操作を確実に防止できる魚釣用リールを提供する。【解決手段】魚釣用リールは、操作部材21が押圧操作力により押し込まれてスプールが釣糸放出状態(クラッチOFF状態)に切り換えられた際に操作部材21に節度感のある抵抗力を付与する抵抗力付与手段80,82を備える。【選択図】図5
