ABSTRACT:
A fly-fishing reel which has succeeded in overcoming such disadvantages of conventional ones that because a reel is attached to a rod through a rod connector having a constant thickness in the longitudinal direction, the center of gravity of the reel at which the reel weight is applied to the rod coincides with the center of the rod connector and is relatively away from a grip portion of the rod rearward, and hence the weight balance is not satisfactory in operation of swinging the rod to fly a fishing line. The inventive reel comprises a holder provided with a pair of flanges for guiding a rotating member, at least one line guide provided between the pair of flanges, a joint base provided between the pair of flanges and located below the line guide, and a rod connector having a joining flat portion which is inclined and joined to a recessed flat portion of the joint base. The center of gravity of the reel is shifted toward the side of a grip portion.
