Fishing reel bearing and component support structure

Abstract

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