Abstract
A fishing reel includes a handle, a spool on which a fishing line is wound, a partially open reel body housing an internal mechanism converting a rotational force applied to the handle into a movement to wind the fishing line onto the spool, a lid member closing the opening of the reel body, and a seal member disposed between an opening edge portion of the reel body and a lid flat surface of the lid member. The seal member includes a shape-retaining portion that holds the shape and a sealing material that has elasticity.

A fishing reel, comprising:
- a handle;
- a spool on which a fishing line is capable of being wound;
- a reel body having an opening, and housing an internal mechanism configured to convert a rotational force applied to the handle into movement to wind the fishing line onto the spool;
- a lid member configured to close the opening of the reel body;
- and
- a seal member disposed between abutting surfaces of the reel body and the lid member, and including a shape-retaining portion configured to hold a shape and a sealing material having elasticity, the sealing material and the shape-retaining portion being formed from different materials.
