The spinning reel spool includes a spool main and a front flange as its chief components. The spool main includes a bobbin trunk around which fishing line is wound, and a larger diameter tubular skirt , formed unitarily with the rear end of the bobbin trunk . The front flange has a larger diameter than, and is attached to the front end of, the bobbin trunk . The bobbin trunk includes a tubular section and an inner barrel made of synthetic resin, attached inner circumferentially to the tubular section . Fitted between the front end of the inner barrel and the front flange A is a reinforcement made of metal. The reinforcement is for example an annular, plate-form ring element made of metal, such as a washer.
