In particular, if the thumb accidentally touches the switch operating portion, there is a risk of malfunction.

An object of the present invention is to provide a dual-bearing reel,
This is to prevent an erroneous operation of the switch operation unit.

[0005]

A reel body of a dual-bearing reel according to a first aspect of the present invention is a reel body of a dual-bearing reel that is attached to a fishing rod and feeds fishing line forward, and a main body member that is attached to the fishing rod, A case member provided on the main body member and provided with a switch operating portion for performing various operations; and a finger placing member provided on the case member away from the switch operating portion and capable of placing a thumb when the main body member is gripped. I have it.

In the reel body of this dual bearing reel, the case member is provided with a finger rest member which is provided separately from the switch operating portion and on which a thumb can be placed when the body member is gripped. Here, since the thumb can be placed on the finger placing member which is separated from the switch operation portion when performing the palming, it is possible to prevent the thumb from accidentally touching the switch operation portion. Therefore, an erroneous operation of the switch operating section can be prevented.

A reel unit according to a second aspect of the present invention is the reel unit according to the first aspect, wherein the finger rest member is provided at the rear end of the case member. In this case, since the finger placing member is provided at the rear end of the case member, the thumb can be easily placed.
A reel unit according to a third aspect of the present invention is the reel unit according to the first or second aspect, wherein the finger rest member is provided so as to project to the side opposite to the fishing rod mounting side of the case member. In this case, the finger rest is
Since the case member is provided on the side opposite to the side where the fishing rod is mounted, that is, on the upper surface of the case member, the thumb can be reliably placed.

A reel unit according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the first to third aspects of the present invention.
In any one of the reel bodies, the finger rest member is integrally formed with the case member. In this case, the finger rest member can be easily formed. A reel unit according to a fifth aspect of the present invention is the reel unit according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the finger rest member is formed separately from the case member. In this case, the finger rest member and the case member can be made of different materials.

The reel unit according to the sixth aspect of the present invention includes the first to fifth aspects of the present invention.
In any one of the reel bodies described above, the case member is further provided with a display portion for performing various displays, and the finger rest member is provided on the case member separately from the display portion. In this case, it is possible to prevent the thumb from accidentally touching the display portion by the finger placing member, and thus it is possible to prevent the display portion from becoming dirty.

A reel unit according to a seventh aspect of the present invention is the reel unit according to the sixth aspect, wherein the switch operating section is disposed between the display section and the finger rest member. In this case, the finger placement member can prevent the thumb from touching both the switch operation unit and the display unit.
