ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel comprising a transmission line mounted within one of side cases for operatively interconnecting a handle and a spool shaft, a friction type drag mechanism mounted between a lateral outer face of the spool and a lateral side face of a mating element opposed to the lateral outer face of the spool to be rotatable in unison with the spool shaft, an engaging member having an engageable element for preventing reverse rotation and connected to the mating element through a connecting portion, and a stopper attached to a reel body and defining an engaged element engageable with the engageable element. The drag mechanism is switchable between an operative position and an inoperative position through relative movement between the spool and the mating element. The mating element and the stopper constitutes an anti-reverse mechanism. The mating element is supported by the other of the side cases, the drag mechanism includes friction surfaces surrounded by an enclosure continuously extending from the spool, the engaging member includes a boss portion having a diameter smaller than that of the engageable element, and the drag mechanism includes a seal disposed between the enclosure and the boss portion for closing a friction operative portion of the drag mechanism.
