1. A fishing reel, comprising:
a spool rotatably supported between left and right side plates of a reel main body;
a clutch mechanism that switches the spool between a fishing line winding state and a fishing line releasing state; and
a level winding device that evenly winds a fishing line around the spool when the clutch mechanism rotates a handle in an ON state,
wherein the level winding device comprises a tubular body rotatably supported between left and right side plates of a reel main body and configured to rotate in conjunction with ON and OFF operation of the clutch mechanism, a worm shaft accommodated in the tubular body and rotationally driven by a rotational operation of the handle, a holding body comprising an engagement pin engaged with a spiral groove of the worm shaft and configured to hold a fishing line insertion portion through which a fishing line is inserted, and two circumferential detent portions provided in the holding body and the tubular body so that the holding body and the tubular body integrally rotate,
the two circumferential detent portions are provided on the tubular body at an interval of approximately 180°, and
an axial detent portion that prevents the holding body from rattling in the axial direction of the tubular body is provided at an intermediate position between the two circumferential detent portions.
