To make the reel body compact, a fishing reel is mounted on a fishing rod with a cylindrical portion (30), and is provided with a rotatable rotor (3), a reel body (2), a spool shaft (20), a spool (4), a handle shaft (7), a pinion gear (14), and an oscillating mechanism (6). The reel body (2) has a rotor support portion (10c) for rotatably supporting the rotor, and a flange portion (10d) formed so as to cover a rear end portion of the cylindrical portion (30) outside the rotor support portion (10c). A housing of the reel body (2), has a lateral width rearward of the flange portion (10d) that is in the range of 20 to 60% of a diameter of the flange portion (10d). The spool shaft (20) is reciprocatingly rotatably supported for back and forth movement within the housing of the reel body (2). The spool (4) is fixed to an end of the spool shaft (20) such that the fishing line may be guided by a fishing line guiding portion and wound around an outer circumference of the spool. An oscillating mechanism (6) includes a screw shaft (21) disposed above and generally parallel with the spool shaft (20) within the housing. IMAGE
