Abstract

A fishing reel in which a fishing line can be wound on a spool through rotation of a rotary frame having a bail arm by operating a handle and the wound line can be drawn out of the spool for casting by turning over the bail arm, said spool having a first flange at a side with respect to the reel body, a cylindrical extension extending at the first flange toward the reel body, a third flange provided at the end of the cylindrical extension to thereby form a groove for receiving the fishing line, so that the fishing line, if backlash occurs during casting, can be prevented from falling between and being caught by the spool and the rotary frame.
