A fishing reel for winding a fishing line includes a reel unit, a spool, a handle, a tension detection section, a temperature detection section, a detected tension correction section, and a corrected tension output section. The spool is rotatably attached to the reel unit and configured to wind the fishing line thereon. The handle is mounted to the reel unit, and configured to rotate the spool. The tension detection section is configured to detect tension applied on the fishing line by converting the tension into an electric signal. The temperature detection section is disposed to detect temperature of the tension detection section. The detected tension correction section is configured to correct the tension after being detected on the basis of the temperature of the tension detection section after being detected. The corrected tension output section is configured to output the tension after being corrected by the detected tension correction section.
