Abstract
In the fishline holder, the holding member support portion has a through hole with a first diameter portion continuous to a larger second diameter portion or recess. The stem of the fishline holding member is slideably positioned in the through hole. A groove is provided at the lower end of the stem of the holding member. The fishline holding spring is engaged in the groove of the stem and the ends of the spring are supported on the inside surface of the outer wall of the body of the fishing reel or the inside surface of the holding member support. Since the holding spring engaged in the groove serves not only to hold the holding member from coming off, an exclusive component part for preventing the holding member from coming off does not need to be provided. Also, the fishline holder can be easily assembled and the cost of manufacturing is reduced.
