Abstract
A spool support structure for a spinning includes a bearing, a spool receiving portion, a retaining member, and a wobble prevention member. The bearing mounted on an inner peripheral portion of a spool is mounted on a non-circular portion of a spool shaft via a retaining member. The retaining member includes a retaining portion which is non-rotatably mounted on the non-circular portion of the spool shaft, a pushing portion that is pushed by the spool. The retaining portion is at least partially mounted to the non-circular portion such that there are two gaps in approximate bow shapes formed between the inner periphery of the retaining portion and the outer periphery of the non-circular portion. A wobble prevention member that suppresses wobble of the retaining member is mounted from the front of the retaining member in the gaps between the retaining portion and the non-circular portion.
