Abstract
In a spinning reel for fishing, a spool shaft having a spool at the end is slidably inserted into a flier shaft rotatably supported by a reel body so that the spool shaft can slide in the axial direction. A protruding sliding guide is formed in one of the outer circumference of the spool shaft and the inner circumference of the flier shaft. The sliding guide may be arranged at both end portions of the flier shaft in the longitudinal direction.

A spinning reel for fishing in which a spool shaft having a spool is slidably inserted into a flier shaft rotatably supported by a reel body so that the spool shaft can slide in an axial direction, said spinning reel comprising:
- a protruding sliding guide means, formed on one of an outer circumference of the spool shaft and an inner circumference of the flier shaft, for contacting the other of the outer circumference of the spool shaft and the inner circumference of the flier shaft,
- a pinion provided on the outer circumference of flier shaft, said pinion adapted to drivingly engage a drive gear drive by a handle shaft,
- wherein said sliding guide means includes a pair of sliding guides respectively arranged at axial end portions of the flier shaft, and wherein one of said pair of sliding guides is disposed radially inside said pinion with respect to an axis of said spool shaft.
A spool support structure for supporting a spool axially movably with respect to a main body, said structure comprising:
- a hollow flier shaft rotatably supported by the main body;
- a spool shaft to which the spool is fixed;
- at least first and second sliding guides integrally formed as a unitary body with one of the flier shaft and the spool shaft, said first and second sliding guides contacting the other of the flier shaft and the spool shaft when the spool shaft is axially movably inserted into the flier shaft.
