Abstract
A fishing reel of a double bearing type is provided in which the center of gravity of the reel and handle position are situated nearer to the position of the hand holding the reel to thereby be able to perform the fishline take-up operation of the handle stably. A fishing reel of an embodiment includes a reel main body (A) which includes two left and right side frames (1, 1'). A support plate (1") and a reel side plate (2) are mounted on the outside of the left side frame (1), while a reel side plate (3) is mounted on the outside of the right side frame (1'). A spool (11) is interposed between the left and right side frames (1, 1') and is fixed to a spool shaft (4). The spool (11) is structured such that it can be rotated by a handle (17). A handle shaft (6) is disposed in the rear of the spool shaft (4) on the opposite side to a fishline play-out direction. Between the left and right side frames (1, 1'), a level wind device (B) is disposed in front of the spool (11) on the fishline play-out direction side.
