Abstract:
A dual-bearing reel includes a handle, a spool, a spool shaft, a clutch mechanism, a pinion gear, and an elastic member. The spool shaft is connected to the spool to be integrally rotatable and has a first abutting portion. The pinion gear has a second abutting portion to abut the first abutting portion in the axial direction in the inner circumferential portion thereof, and can move in the axial direction between a coupled position, in which the pinion gear is connected to the spool shaft so as to be integrally rotatable, and a decoupled position, in which the connection is disconnected. When the pinion gear is in the coupled position, the elastic member contacts the distal end of the pinion gear and biases the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion in directions away from each other.

Claim (Index 1):
A fishing reel, comprising\n a reel body; a handle rotatable relative to the reel body; a spool rotatable relative to the reel body; a spool shaft connected to the spool so as to be integrally rotatable, and having a first abutting portion; a clutch mechanism configured to transmit and prevent a rotational force from the handle to the spool; a pinion gear configured such that the spool shaft extends through an inner circumferential portion thereof, configured to move in an axial direction of the spool shaft, between a coupled position in which the pinion gear is connected to the spool shaft so as to be integrally rotatable, and a decoupled position in which the connection with the spool shaft is disconnected, and having a second abutting portion configured to abut the first abutting portion in the axial direction in the inner circumferential portion; and an elastic member configured to contact a distal end of the pinion gear and bias the first abutting portion of the spool shaft and the second abutting portion of the pinion gear in directions away from each other, when the pinion gear is in the coupled position.
