Abstract
A spinning reel comprising a reel body including a rear wall and a side wall, a handle attached to the reel body, a spool connected to a forward portion of the reel body through a spool shaft to be reciprocable fore and aft relative to the reel body, and an oscillating mechanism mounted in the reel body. The oscillating mechanism includes a screw shaft driven by the handle, the screw shaft being insertable into the reel body through the rear wall, a slider engaged with a helical groove formed on the screw shaft and connected to the spool shaft, the slider being operable to convert rotation of the screw shaft to a reciprocating motion in a fore and aft direction of the reel body for transmission to the spool shaft, and guide rods fixed to the reel body for prohibiting displacement of the slider transversely of the screw shaft, the guide rods being insertable into the reel body through the rear wall.
