Abstract: The invention relates a long-distance casting spool 1 for fishing reels, with a spool body 2 comprising a spool base 3 and limit flanges 4, 5 on both sides, where limit flange 4 pointing in the run-off direction is provided with a radially outer spool lip 6, via which a fishing line that can be wound up in circumferential winding direction s perpendicular to spool axis a can run off in run-off direction z roughly parallel to spool axis a. With the object of reducing the frictional resistance between the unwinding fishing line and spool lip 6, it is proposed that spool lip 6 display a number of retaining fins 7, distributed evenly over the circumference, that base end 8 of each retaining fin 7 be permanently connected to spool body 2, that the free ends of retaining fins 7 extend obliquely in the direction opposite to winding direction s, and that retaining fins 7 have a radially outer, longitudinal side designed as fin lip 9.
