Abstract: A fishing reel includes a reel body, a drive shaft, a handle, a first roller clutch, and a second roller clutch. The reel body includes a tubular body-side accommodating part. The handle includes a handle arm extending in a direction intersecting the drive shaft, and a tubular handle-side accommodating part disposed adjacent to the body-side accommodating part in the axial direction of the drive shaft and partially accommodating the drive shaft. The first roller clutch is disposed in the body-side accommodating part of the reel body and prohibits rotation of the drive shaft in a fishing line releasing direction. The second roller clutch is disposed in the handle-side accommodating part and transmits only rotation of the handle in a fishing line winding direction to the drive shaft.
