Description

ABSTRACT:
A double bearing reel is provided with a reel body (1), a handle having a handle shaft (31), a spool shaft (5) disposed in parallel with the handle shaft (31), a spool (4), a drag mechanism (6), and a first torque transmission mechanism (9a) for transmitting a rotation of the handle to the drag mechanism. The spool has a fishing line drum portion (4a) and flange portions (4b) and (4c) formed on both sides of the fishing line drum portion. A drag mechanism (6) has a brake portion (26) having a brake disc (55) disposed coaxially with the spool and cooperating with the spool, and a frictional disc (56) disposed to face and to be pressingly contactable with the brake disc and being unrotatable in a fishing line feed direction, and a spool shaft moving mechanism (25) for braking the spool by the relative movement between the brake disc and the frictional disc in the press contact direction. The brake diameter is 90% or more of a fishing line windable diameter of the spool. In the double bearing reel, the drag mechanism suppresses pressure force enhancing brake performance.
