Abstract
In the fishing reel, a one-way brake is interposed between a reel main body and a drive shaft which is rotatable in linking with the rotation of a handle, switch-over members and capable of engaging the one-way brake with the drive shaft or disengaging the one-way brake from the drive shaft are interposed between the drive shaft and one-way brake, and an operation member for performing the switching operation between the engagement and disengagement of the switch-over members is disposed in such a manner that it can be operated from outside of the reel main body. It is possible to provide a simple and highly reliable fishing reel which is switchable in operation such that in one operation it prevents reversed rotation with the degree of play reduced and in the other operation it allows rotation in both forward and reversed directions as need arises.
