Abstract
Provided is a fishing reel having a tension nut retainer and, more particularly, a fishing reel having a tension nut retainer that prevents a tension nut from separating from a nut seat by being locked to the structure of a frame when the tension nut is moved to an end of the nut seat in order to prevent loss of the tension nut that is used to adjust tension of a spool.

A fishing reel including a tension nut retainer adjusting torque of a spool, the fishing reel comprising:
- a frame having a nut mount;
- a tension nut thread-fastened to an outer side of the nut mount and moving in an axial direction of a spool shaft such that a distance can be adjusted when being rotated in two directions;
- and
- a retainer locking the tension nut to a structure of the frame to prevent the tension nut from being separated from the nut mount when the tension nut is loosened and moved from a first end of the nut mount,
- wherein the retainer includes:
- a cap coupled to the frame to cover the nut mount to form a gap in which a second end of the tension nut is inserted, and having a retaining step protruding from an inner side thereof;
- and
- a retaining portion formed on an outer side of the tension nut and protruding to be locked to the retaining step,
- the retaining step has ridges on an inner side thereof,
- the retaining portion is a threaded tap disposed on the outer side of the tension nut to be engaged with the ridges, and
- the threaded tap is coupled to idle in an insertion portion without being thread-fastened to the ridges of the retaining step.
