Abstract

A fishing reel comprises a spool shaft having a spool and which is supported rotatably between a pair of frames so that the spool shaft is driven through a clutch by a drive mechanism having a drag mechanism and which is provided with a clutch operating mechanism which is operated to disengage the clutch to allow the spool to freely rotate. The drive mechanism is provided at a main gear thereof with a stopper gear rotatable together therewith, one of the frames is provided with a stopper engageable with the stopper gear to impede the reverse rotation of spool, and the frame is provided with an operating segment for the stopper, thereby enabling engagement and disengagement of stopper with or from the stopper gear.
