Reciprocating mechanism for a fishing reel

A reciprocating mechanism for a fishing reel to reciprocate a spool shaft in a spool shaft direction when a handle is rotated, comprising:

• a first rotating body configured to rotate around a first axis extending in a direction perpendicular to the spool shaft direction;
• a second rotating body configured to rotate around a second axis disposed at a spaced apart from the first rotating body along the spool shaft direction, and parallel to the first axis;
• a rotation transmission body bridged between the first rotating body and the second rotating body, and configured to circulate and transmit a rotation of the first rotating body to the second rotational body when the handle is rotated;
• and
• a movable body engaging the rotation transmission body, the movable body configured to reciprocate in the spool shaft direction together with the spool shaft, when the rotation transmission body is circulated,
• a virtual straight line that connects the first axis and the second axis is inclined with respect to spool shaft direction when viewed from a direction along the first axis.
