Abstract
The spinning reel of the present invention pertains to a sliding mechanism which allows for the reduction in size and weight of the reel and an increase in the reciprocation stroke of the spool without a decrease in the winding force of the reel on the turning force of the rotor. That is, the sliding pin of the invention is located closer to the master gear than the conventional sliding mechanism.

A sliding mechanism for a spinning reel comprising:
- a hollow body formed of a main part and a cover, said main part and said cover including narrowly extending sliding grooves;
- a master gear having an axis and an eccentric boss affixed thereto located within said body, said master gear being adapted to be rotated upon rotation of a handle of the reel;
- a main shaft centrally located in said hollow body;
- a spool attached to said main shaft;
- a pivotal coupler lever having first and second ends;
- a reciprocator having a first slider pin for swingably connecting said first end of said pivotal coupler lever and said main shaft;
- a slider having a first end connected to said eccentric boss and a second end;
- and
