Abstract
A fishline guide mechanism for a spinning reel, in which a fishline is guided within a relatively narrow groove formed in a rotatable guide roller which may be supported on a bail support member so as to be tiltable about its rotational center depending on a direction of force applied to the fishline. The groove is sized to prevent the fishline from rolling and sliding in the lateral direction (along the roller axis) when the fishline is guided by the roller, to thereby reduce twisting and tangling of the fishline.
