Abstract
A spool (3) is rotatably fitted to a support shaft (2) of a reel main body (1). The spool (3) is formed of aluminum in a cylindrical shape by die casting and includes a winding drum portion (3a), around which a fishing line (not show) is to be wound, and two flanges (3b and 3c) respectively provided on either side thereof. On the outside of the flange portion (3b) of the spool (3) disposed on the opening side of the reel main body (1), there is formed a notch portion (3d) to the outside of which a separate ring (4) is mounted and fixed by adhesives. The ring (4) is formed in a porous pan shape by machining an aluminum member. And, the ring (4) includes an inner peripheral surface (4a) which is to be placed on the outer periphery of the flange (3b) of the spool (3), and an outer peripheral surface (4b) which is formed so as to be substantially level with the outer periphery (1a) of the reel main body (1). Also, the ring (4) is exposed out to the outer periphery of the reel main body (1) disposed on the opening side thereof. The outer peripheral surface (4b) of the ring (4) is formed in a smooth surface by machining an aluminum member and it may be formed so as to have a shape ideal for an excellent thumbing operation and may be given color and luster.
