Abstract
A fishing spinning reel consisting of a rear-end-walled cylinder projecting from the rear portion of a reel casing, a spool shaft which is supported on the rear portion of the reel casing so that it can be turned and axially slid, and which is extended at the rear end portion thereof into the cylinder, a spool shaft-braking drag braking member mounted on the spool shaft in the cylinder, an operating cylinder supported rotatably on the end-walled portion of the end-walled cylinder and formed so as to surround the end-walled cylinder, a rotatable member fitted in the supported portion in the end-walled cylinder of the operating cylinder and adapted to be turned with this supported portion, and a movable regulating member contacting the rear portion of the drag braking member and engaged with the rotatable member so that the regulating member can be moved only in the axial direction of the spool shaft. Owing to the end-walled cylinder, the entry of seawater and sand thereinto can be prevented, so that the operating cylinder and drag means function reliably. Since the movably regulating member is provided, a drag braking operation can be carried out by a small tightening torque of the operating cylinder. The reel casing can be made compact owing to this operating cylinder which does not move back itself.
