A handle of a fishing reel in which, even if a fishline is twined around a handle knob, the fishline can be removed easily there from. The handle knob also can be held easily outside thereof with the fingertips. In the handle of the fishing reel, a handle knob is rotatably mounted on the end portion of a handle arm. The shape of each of the hold surfaces of the handle knob to be held with the thumb and forefinger during a fishline winding operation is formed such that it is tapered from the base portion side of the handle arm toward the outer end portion side thereof. Accordingly, when the fishline is twined around the handle knob, the fishline can be removed from the twined state thereof. Also, the handle knob can be grasped easily from a position outward of the knob with the angler's fingertips.
A handle knob for a fishing reel, said handle knob being mounted on a handle arm and rotatable about an axis, wherein:
A handle of a fishing reel including a handle knob supported rotatably in an end portion of a handle arm of the handle, wherein said handle is configured to be mounted on a drive shaft of a reel main body, wherein said handle knob is formed with hold surfaces, such that said hold surfaces thereof are adapted to be held with a thumb and forefinger during a fishline winding operation and are tapered from a base portion side of said handle knob proximate to said handle arm to an outer axial end of said handle knob.
