Abstract: In a spinning reel for fishing, a fishline guide roller is rotatably supported on a bail support arm pivotably mounted on a rotor. The guide roller has a flattened shape such that a ratio of an axial length of the roller relative to a diameter thereof falls within 0.10-0.40. Further, the guide roller is formed with a narrow fishline guide groove so that a ratio of an axial length of the fishline guide groove relative to an axial length of the roller falls within 0.05-0.35. It is possible to make a fishline guide roller small in weight and size and to restrict axial motion of a fishline along the guide roller which, among other advantages, reduces line twist in the fishline.

Abstract: A fishline guide mechanism for a spinning reel, in which a fishline is guided within a relatively narrow groove formed in a rotatable guide roller which may be supported on a bail support member so as to be tiltable about its rotational center depending on a direction of force applied to the fishline. The groove is sized to prevent the fishline from rolling and sliding in the lateral direction (along the roller axis) when the fishline is guided by the roller, to thereby reduce twisting and tangling of the fishline.
