Fishing reel bearing and component support structure

Abstract

Fishing reel bearings for curtailing deterioration in rotational performance, and improving anti-corrosiveness, as well as making it easier to wash the bearings without incurring internal component corrosion. Dual-bearing reel bearing 24a-a bearing provided between a boss 6c, and a spool shaft 16 disposed to the circumferentially inner side of, and rotational relative to, the boss 6c—is furnished with an outer race 34a, an inner race 34b, and a plurality of rolling bodies 34c. The outer race 34a is fitted into the boss 6c. The inner race 34b is fitted in the spool 16, disposed parted at a clearance from the outer race 34a. Between the two races 34a, 34b the rolling bodies 34c of the plurality are disposed, circumferentially spaced and contacting both the races 34a, 34b. The outer race 34a, the inner race 34b, and the rolling bodies 34c are SUS 440C manufactures coated with a highly corrosion-resistant film.
