Fly type fishing reel which reduces play between the spool shaft and spool

Abstract

The present disclosure concerns a simple structure for a fly type fishing reel to prevent the occurrence of noise caused by axial backlash between a shaft and a spool. A spool is rotatably supported on a shaft through at least one bearing, and a peripheral groove is formed on a fore end portion of the shaft. A cap is fixed to a center of the spool with a screw. An engaging knob plate to detachably engage the spool with the shaft is provided between the cap and the spool. A concave portion is formed approximately at a center of the reverse side of the cap for accommodating the fore end portion of the shaft, and a floating absorption member is inserted into and fixed in the concave portion. The floating absorption member may be made of felt, a resilient laminated member of rubber on which a metallic plate and a synthetic resin plate are stacked, or a leaf spring.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
