Abstract: The invention is to offer a spinning reel for fishing, in which a handle can be replaced left and right, and an offset amount of a spool shaft and a handle shaft is reduced without lowering strength of these shafts, so that transmitting efficiency of rotating torque from a drive gear to a pinion gear can be heightened and a reel main body can be miniaturized. In the spinning reel for fishing, a part of the handle shaft crossing with the spool shaft is formed as a small diameter portion determined to have a smaller diameter than those of other parts of the handle shaft, and a part of the handle which is connected to the handle shaft is less to extend within the handle shaft to traverse the crossing portion of the spool shaft and the handle shaft.

Abstract: In an intra-line fishing rod, a rod tube comprises a synthetic resin as a matrix, and is reinforced by reinforced fibers. A guide is formed integrally with and projects from an inner surface of the rod tube. A cushioning portion is formed between the guide and a body layer of the rod tube which is composed predominantly of axially-extending fibers, and cushioning portions are formed respectively at front and rear sides of the guide connected to the inner surface of the rod tube. The cushioning portions are smaller in bending modulus than a bulge portion region of the guide for contact with a fishline, and the inner surface is formed with a mirror-like smoothness.
