  • Publication number: 20240324568
    Abstract: A fishing gear of one embodiment is a line stopper device including a support member that closes a through-hole of a fishing spinning reel in which the through-hole penetrating in a radial direction is provided on a front side of a skirt portion of a spool; and a line stopper member supported by the support member. The line stopper member includes a fishing line locking portion supported by the support member on an outer side of the support member in the radial direction, and a support shaft portion extending inward in the radial direction from the fishing line locking portion and penetrating through the support member. A width of the support member is formed to be larger than a width of the fishing line locking portion, and the fishing line locking portion is offset to one side with respect to the support member when viewed in a width direction.

  • Publication number: 20240315222
    Abstract: A fishing spinning reel comprises a bail support member attached to a support arm of a rotor, and supporting a bail; a line roller supported by the bail support member, and guiding a fishing line to a spool around which the fishing line is wound and held; and a line slider supporting one end of the bail, and guiding the fishing line picked up by the bail to the line roller. An insertion hole into which the one end of the bail is inserted is formed on a side surface of the line slider. An opening edge portion of the insertion hole comprises a surface substantially orthogonal to an axis of the insertion hole.

  • Publication number: 20240315223
    Abstract: A fishing spinning reel includes a line roller supported by a bail support member, and a line slider that guides a fishing line to the roller. An external inclined surface is formed in a region where the roller is projected on an outer surface of the bail support member opposite a side to which the roller is attached. When a vertical plane including a central axis of a rotor is a first reference plane and a plane including a central axis of the roller is the second, the external inclined surface is inclined from a proximal end side of the bail support member toward a distal end side to approach an inner surface side of the member when viewed in a direction orthogonal to the second reference plane in a state where the member is disposed so the first and second reference planes are in a parallel positional relationship.

  • Patent number: 10588301
    Abstract: A meshed state between a drive gear and a pinion gear can be maintained with high accuracy, and rigidity of a reel body is increased. Entry of dust and water between a side opening portion and a lid member is prevented and tangling of a fishing line is avoided. A fishing spinning reel includes a lid member closing a side opening portion provided in a body and a handle shaft is rotatably supported by at least the lid member. A female screw portion is provided on the side opening portion, and a male screw portion is provided on the lid member. There are provided a drive gear, a pinion gear meshed with the drive gear, a front bearing rotatably supporting a front portion of the pinion gear, and a rear bearing rotatably supporting a rear portion thereof.
