Provided is a fishing reel including a level wind device including a fishing line guide body (60) through which the fishing line (S) unreeled from the spool is threaded. The fishing line guide body (60) includes a fishing line threading section (60A) that forms an elongated opening (65) of which a height in a vertical direction is larger than a width in a left and right direction. The body (60) is rotated forward and the section (60A) stands up in the vertical direction during the unwinding of the fishing line. The body is rotated rearward and the section (60A) falls down during the winding of the fishing line, so that a fishing line guide section (70) comes into contact with the fishing line (S) threaded through the fishing line threading section (60A).
