  • Patent number: 5605298
    Abstract: In a fishing spinning reel in which a bail is coupled through bail supporting members to the ends of a pair of bail supporting arms which are provided on both sides of a rotor, respectively, in such a manner that the bail is swung to be set at a fishing line winding position and a fishing line releasing position; a protective member for protecting the outer periphery of the spool is provided between the pair of bail supporting arms on the side of the fishing line releasing position. The protective member can reinforce the bail supporting arms to improve the operation of winding or letting out the fishing line. The spool is protected by the protective member, for instance when the spinning reel is dropped.

  • Patent number: 4907759
    Abstract: A spinning reel assembly for use in fishing includes a spool shaft mounted to a spinning reel casing but movable rearwardly and forwardly, a spool for winding fishline on having an interior bore for receiving the spool shaft, and a plurality of drag plates secured within the bore, some of which may be integral with the spool. A drag adjustment knob is threaded onto the spool shaft for applying an axial force to the drag plates in order to brake the spool against rotation.
