A level wind mechanism for a dual-bearing reel including a first reel body and a second reel body includes a worm shaft, a guide member, and a first seal member. The worm shaft including a first end, a second end, a shaft body and a helical groove. The first end is on the same side as the first reel body. The second end is on the same side as the second reel body. The shaft body extends between the first end and the second end. The helical groove is on the shaft body. The guide member includes a tubular shape, is outside the worm shaft in a radial direction from a rotational axis of the worm shaft, and extends between the first reel body and the second reel body. The first seal member seals between the first end of the worm shaft and the guide member.

A spinning reel includes, a spool, a spool shaft, a pinion gear, a tubular-shaped collar, a tubular-shaped nut, and an elastic member. The spool is configured to have a fishing line wound thereon when accompanied by rotation of a rotor. The pinion gear is disposed around the spool shaft and on which the rotor is non-rotatably mounted. The tubular-shaped collar is rotatably disposed on the spool shaft on an end side of the pinion gear in the axial direction of the pinion gear, and supports the spool shaft. The tubular-shaped nut is disposed to accommodate the collar and configured to screw onto the pinion gear. The elastic member is disposed between an outer peripheral surface of the collar and an inner peripheral surface of the nut.

An engagement pin of a fishing reel for engaging a worm shaft of the fishing reel, the worm shaft having intersecting spiral grooves, the engagement pin includes a shaft portion and an engagement portion. The shaft portion has an end. The engagement portion is integrally and turnably disposed on the end of the shaft portion and is configured to engage the intersecting spiral grooves. At least the engagement portion is formed from synthetic resin.

A fishing reel according to an embodiment includes a spool rotatably supported between a left side plate and a right side plate of a reel body, and a fishing line guide having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first through hole, the second portion has a second through hole, the first through hole guides a fishing line to be wound on the spool, and the second through hole has a width in a left-right direction larger than the first through hole and being continuous with the first through hole. A front surface of the first portion is angled to a rear side with respect to a perpendicular line extended from a center of a rotational axis of the spool to an extending direction of the fishing line.

A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a handle, a spool shaft, a spool, a clutch mechanism, and a level winding mechanism. The clutch mechanism switches between a clutch-on state and a clutch-off state. The level winding mechanism has a line guide unit, a moving part, and a switching mechanism. The line guide unit moves along an axial direction of the spool shaft. The moving part moves along the axial direction of the spool shaft. The switching mechanism switches between a coupled state in which the line guide unit and the moving part are coupled, and a decoupled state in which the line guide unit and the moving part are decoupled, in accordance with the switching between the on state and the off state.
