Abstract
A spool shaft is secured to the body of the fishing reel at the center thereof by press-fitting or the like, and projects from the body. The swing member is supported by the shaft so that the member is swingable between first and second positions. A spool is rotatably fitted on the shaft. A spring is strung between the long restriction arm of the swing member in a direction opposite a pin implanted in the body, and urges the member to put the arm in the second position, to restrict the swinging of the swing member. An intermediate gear is rotatably fitted on a shaft secured to the other arm of the swing member, and is always engaged with a drive gear provided on the spool. A drag gear is provided near the intermediate gear so that the latter can be engaged with the former when the swing member is in the second position. A swing member can be prevented from moving at the time of fishline casting operation or the like so as to cause the intermediate gear to collide against the drag gear.
