Abstract

A fishing reel of double-bearing type is provided with a spool shaft on which a spool having a cylinder body is rotatably mounted. The spool shaft has a spool gear mounted on the end thereof and meshable with a drive gear mounted on a handle shaft connected to a handle which is rotatably held by a support. A driving shaft acommodated in a driving shaft cylinder on which are fixedly mounted a spool inner gear and a spool holder, is shiftable into a passage connecting two cavities defined in the spool cylinder by a biasing force of the coil spring spanning the driving shaft and a spring holder accommodated in the driving shaft cylinder as soon as an engagement between projections arranged on an inside wall of the driving shaft cylinder and recesses defined in the driving shaft body gets released when the spool inner gear which is driven by a motor via a pinion rotates simultaneously the driving shaft cylinder, the coil spring holder and an inner gear holder in a predetermined direction with the result that a head portion of the driving shaft thus shiftable is thrown into engagement with projections arranged on the inner wall of the passage of the spool cylinder, whereby the spool cylinder may be driven by the motor.
