Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a spinning reel for fishing.

Background Art

[0002] In a spinning reel for fishing, a structure in which a bail is supported by a bail support member is generally known. The bail support member is supported by a support arm provided on a rotor, and is provided rotatably between a fishing line winding position and a fishing line releasing position with respect to the support arm. When casting the tackle, an operation of reversing the bail support member to the fishing line releasing position and swinging down the fishing rod to release the fishing line is performed.

[0003] And after casting, the bail is returned to the fishing line winding position, and an operation of winding the fishing line around the spool by rotating the handle is performed. The return of the bail can be performed by rotating the handle, but when performed by rotating the handle, for example, a phenomenon may occur in which the frayed fishing line wraps around the bail support member. Thus, when the phenomenon occurs that the fishing line wraps around the bail support member, it may not be possible to smoothly shift to the fishing line winding operation.

[0004] As a spinning reel for fishing that prevents such winding of the fishing line, a technique of devising the attachment structure of the bail to the line slider is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). In the spinning reel for fishing of Patent Document 1, it is possible to smoothly guide the fishing line and prevent the occurrence of line entanglement and line damage.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] However, the spinning reel for fishing described in Patent Document 1 had the problem of a complex bail structure, making assembly complicated and costly. Therefore, there was a need for the development of a technology that could improve line tangling regardless of the bail structure.

[0007] This invention was created to solve these problems, and aims to provide a spinning reel for fishing that can suitably improve line entanglement with the bail support member by giving the bail support member a distinctive shape. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] To solve the aforementioned problems, the spinning reel for fishing according to the present invention comprises a rotor that rotates when the handle is turned over; a bail support member attached to a support arm of the rotor and supporting a bail; a line roller supported by the bail support member and guiding the fishing line to a spool on which the fishing line is wound and held; and a line slider that supports one end of the bail and guides the fishing line picked up by the bail to the line roller. On the outer surface of the bail support member opposite to the side to which the line roller is attached, an external inclined surface is formed in the region on which the line roller is projected. The external inclined surface is configured such that the ends of the fixing screws used to attach the line slider and the line roller to the bale support member are not exposed. The external inclined surface is such that, when the bale support member is positioned such that the first and second reference planes are parallel, with the vertical plane containing the central axis of the rotor as the first reference plane and the plane containing the central axis of the line roller as the second reference plane, the external inclined surface is inclined so as to approach the inner surface of the bale support member from the base end side toward the tip end side of the bale support member when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the second reference plane. , and extending in a straight line It is.

[0009] In this spinning reel for fishing, even if the fishing line becomes entangled around the bail support member, the external inclined surface allows the fishing line to be guided from the base end to the tip end of the bail support member, and also toward the inner surface of the bail support member. This makes it easier for the entangled fishing line to escape from the tip end of the bail support member, effectively resolving the entanglement. Consequently, fishing operability is improved. Furthermore, for example, if slack fishing line becomes entangled in the bail support member when the bail is returned by rotating the handle, applying tension to the entangled fishing line by rotating the handle causes the fishing line to move along the external inclined surface in a direction that allows it to escape from the bail support member, thus effectively resolving the entanglement.

[0010] Furthermore, in order to solve the above problems, the spinning reel for fishing according to the present invention comprises a rotor that rotates when the handle is turned over; a bail support member attached to the support arm of the rotor and supporting the bail; a line roller supported by the bail support member and guiding the fishing line to a spool on which the fishing line is wound and held; and a line slider that supports one end of the bail and guides the fishing line picked up by the bail to the line roller. On the side surface of the bail support member when viewed from the central axis direction of the line slider, a lateral inclined surface is formed on the side surface away from the spool in the region on which the line roller is projected. The lateral inclined surface is inclined to approach the spool side from the base end side of the bail support member toward the tip end side of the bail support member. The aforementioned lateral inclined surface extends toward the tip of the bale support member, starting from the point of intersection between the second reference line and the side surface of the bale support member, when viewed from the central axis direction of the line slider, the second reference line is drawn passing through the joint point between the line slider and the bale and extending radially outward from the spool.

[0011] In this spinning reel for fishing, even if the fishing line becomes entangled with the bail support member, the sloping side surface guides the line from the base end to the tip end of the bail support member and towards the spool. This makes it easier for the entangled fishing line to escape from the tip end of the bail support member, effectively resolving the tangle. Consequently, fishing operability is improved. Furthermore, when the bail is returned by rotating the handle, if slack fishing line becomes entangled with the bail support member, applying tension to the entangled fishing line by rotating the handle causes the fishing line to move along the sloping side surface in a direction that allows it to escape from the bail support member, thus effectively resolving the entanglement. Furthermore, since a sloping side surface is formed on the side region of the bail support member that is closer to the tip than the joint between the line slider and the bail, the tangled fishing line can be effectively guided in a direction that allows it to escape from the bail support member. This effectively resolves line entanglement.

[0012] Furthermore, in order to solve the above problems, the spinning reel for fishing according to the present invention comprises a rotor that rotates when the handle is turned over; a bail support member attached to the support arm of the rotor and supporting the bail; a line roller supported by the bail support member and guiding the fishing line to a spool on which the fishing line is wound and held; and a line slider that supports one end of the bail and guides the fishing line picked up by the bail to the line roller. On the outer surface of the bail support member opposite to the side to which the line roller is attached, an external inclined surface is formed in the region on which the line roller is projected. The external inclined surface is configured such that the ends of the fixing screws used to attach the line slider and the line roller to the bale support member are not exposed. Furthermore, on the side surface of the bail support member when viewed from the direction of the central axis of the line slider, a lateral inclined surface is formed on the side surface away from the spool in the region onto which the line roller is projected. The external inclined surface is inclined so as to approach the inner surface of the bail support member from the base end side toward the tip end side when the bail support member is viewed from a direction perpendicular to the second reference surface in a state where the first reference surface and the second reference surface are in a parallel positional relationship when the vertical plane containing the central axis of the rotor is defined as the first reference plane and the plane containing the central axis of the line roller is defined as the second reference plane, and the bail support member is positioned such that the first reference plane and the second reference plane are parallel. , and extending in a straight line Furthermore, the lateral inclined surface is inclined so that it approaches the spool side as it moves from the base end side of the bale support member towards the tip end side of the bale support member. The aforementioned lateral inclined surface extends toward the tip of the bale support member, starting from the point of intersection between the second reference line and the side surface of the bale support member, when viewed from the central axis direction of the line slider, the second reference line is drawn passing through the joint point between the line slider and the bale and extending radially outward from the spool.

[0013] In this spinning reel for fishing, even if the fishing line becomes entangled with the bail support member, the synergistic effect of the external and side inclined surfaces guides the fishing line three-dimensionally from the base end to the tip end of the bail support member, and also toward the inner surface and spool side of the bail support member. As a result, the entangled fishing line can easily be released from the tip end of the bail support member, effectively resolving the entanglement. Therefore, fishing operability is improved. Furthermore, when the bail is returned by rotating the handle, if slack fishing line becomes entangled with the bail support member, rotating the handle applies tension to the entangled fishing line, causing it to move along the external and side inclined surfaces in a direction that frees it from the bail support member. This effectively resolves the entanglement. Furthermore, since a sloping side surface is formed on the side region of the bail support member that is closer to the tip than the joint between the line slider and the bail, the tangled fishing line can be effectively guided in a direction that allows it to escape from the bail support member. This effectively resolves line entanglement.

[0014] Furthermore, it is preferable that the external inclined surface extends toward the tip of the bale support member, starting from the intersection point of the first reference line and the outer surface of the bale support member, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the second reference surface, the first reference line is drawn parallel to the central axis of the line slider and passes through the joint point between the line slider and the bale.

[0015] In this configuration, an external inclined surface is formed on the outer surface region of the bail support member that is closer to the tip than the joint between the line slider and the bail. This effectively guides the tangled fishing line in a direction that allows it to escape from the bail support member. As a result, line tangling is effectively resolved. Furthermore, the external inclined surface allows for weight reduction at the tip of the bail support member, thereby reducing the rotor's inertia and enabling smoother rotor rotation. This improves fishing operability.

[0018] Further, the veil support member includes a veil leg portion rotatably attached to the support arm, and a support portion provided continuously to the veil leg portion for supporting the line roller. On the veil leg portion, a curved concave inner portion is formed on the side facing the spool in a bottom view in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the veil support member and the support arm, and the radius of curvature of the inner portion is preferably 10 to 20 mm.

[0019] In this configuration, since the inner portion on the side of the veil leg portion facing the spool has a smoothly curved shape without constriction, the entangled fishing line is smoothly guided from the base end side to the tip end side of the veil support member as compared with the case where the inner portion has a large radius of curvature. As a result, together with the action effects of the external inclined surface and the side inclined surface, the line entanglement is preferably eliminated.

[0020] Further, a hood portion that partially covers the line roller is integrally formed on the veil support member, and the hood portion preferably extends from the veil support member side toward the line slider.

[0021] In this configuration, the fishing line that has come out from the tip end of the veil support member can be guided to the line slider side through the hood portion. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the fishing line that has come out from the tip end of the veil support member from being caught by the line roller.

[0022] Further, an engaging portion with which the extending end of the hood portion engages is formed on the line slider, and the extending end of the hood portion preferably protrudes slightly radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the line slider in a state of being engaged with the engaging portion.

[0023] In this configuration, the fishing line guided to the line slider side through the hood portion moves to the outer peripheral surface of the line slider, which is radially inner than this, via the extending end of the hood portion that protrudes slightly radially outward. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the fishing line that has come out from the tip end of the veil support member from being caught by the engaging portion.

Advantages of the Invention

[0024] According to the spinning reel for fishing of the present invention, the threading with respect to the bail support member can be preferably improved.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0026] The spinning reel for fishing according to the embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, when referring to "front and rear" and "up and down", the directions shown in Fig. 1 are used as the reference.

[0027] The spinning reel R1 for fishing in this embodiment comprises a reel body 1 to which a handle 2 is attached, a rotor 3 provided on the front side of the reel body 1 and rotating when the handle 2 is turned, and a spool 4 provided on the front side of the rotor 3 and reciprocating in the front-back direction when the handle 2 is turned.

[0028] The reel body 1 comprises a body 10 and a leg portion 11 that extends upward from the top of the body 10 and has a rod attachment portion 12 at its tip for attachment to a fishing rod. The body 10 has a cylindrical front body portion through which a drive shaft cylinder and a spool shaft (not shown) pass. A rotor 3 is attached to the front end of the drive shaft cylinder so as to cover the front body portion, and a spool 4 is attached to the front end of the spool shaft so as to cover the cylindrical portion (not shown) of the rotor 3.

[0029] The body 10 is equipped with a drive gear (not shown) that rotates around the handle shaft in conjunction with the rotation of the handle 2, and a pinion gear (not shown) that is fitted onto the drive shaft cylinder and meshes with the drive gear. The rear of the spool shaft is connected to an oscillating mechanism driven by a drive gear attached to the handle shaft. As a result, when the drive gear rotates due to the rotation of the handle 2, the spool shaft and spool 4 move back and forth, and the fishing line is wound parallel and evenly around the spool 4.

[0030] The rotor 3 comprises a support arm 31 and a bail support member 32 rotatably attached to the front of the support arm 31. The support arm 31 and the bail support member 32 are formed in pairs at approximately 180-degree intervals with respect to the cylindrical portion of the rotor 3, and rotate around the spool 4 as the rotor 3 rotates. In the fishing spinning reel R1 shown in Figure 1, the support arm 31 and the bail support member 32 are positioned in the center of the vertical direction on one side of the reel body 1. In the pair of support arms 31 and pair of bale support members 32, the support arm 31 and bale support member 32 shown in Figure 1 will be referred to as "one support arm 31 and one bale support member 32," while the other support arm 31 and bale support member 32 on the opposite side (not shown in the figure) will be referred to as "the other support arm 31 and the other bale support member 32." When referring to both, they will be referred to as "both support arms 31, 31 and both bale support members 32, 32."

[0031] One support arm 31 extends forward from the cylindrical portion of the rotor 3 and supports one bale support member 32. Similarly, the other support arm 31 also extends forward from the cylindrical portion of the rotor 3 and supports the other bale support member 32. Both bale support members 32, 32 are supported by both support arms 31, 31 so as to be rotatable between the fishing line winding position and the fishing line release position. Figure 1 shows the state in the fishing line winding position.

[0032] The two bail support members 32, 32 are members that support the bail 33 for picking up the fishing line. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a line slider 34 that supports one end 33a of the bail 33 is attached to one of the bail support members 32. A line roller 35 is rotatably supported between one of the bail support members 32 and the line slider 34. The other bail support member 32 directly supports the other end 33b of the bail 33 (see Figure 2).

[0033] As shown in Figure 2, the bale 33 is a linear member formed by curving in a substantially semicircular shape. One end 33a of the bale 33 is bent at approximately 90 degrees (approximately a right angle) toward the line slider 34 and comprises a mounting portion 33c, a straight portion 33d, a bent portion 33e, and an extended portion 33f.

[0034] The mounting portion 33c is the part that is attached to the line slider 34 and has a loop shape. A fixing screw 36 is inserted through the inside of the mounting portion 33c. The fixing screw 36 is a fixing member for attaching the line slider 34 to one of the bail support members 32. The fixing screw 36 is inserted from the line slider 34 side to which one end 33a of the bail 33 is attached, and is screwed into the cylindrical support shaft 32a of one of the bail support members 32 with the line roller 35 positioned between it and one of the bail support members 32. The line roller 35 is rotatably supported on the cylindrical support shaft 32a when the fixing screw 36 is tightened. At least a portion of the head of the fixing screw 36 is housed inside the line slider 34. With this configuration, the fishing line picked up by the bail 33 is guided to the line roller 35 via the line slider 34. The shape of the mounting portion 33c is not limited to a loop shape; any shape that can be fixed by the fixing screw 36, such as a C-shape or a curved shape, is acceptable.

[0035] The straight portion 33d of the bale 33 is a linear portion formed continuously with the mounting portion 33c and is inserted through the insertion hole 34e of the line slider 34. With the mounting portion 33c attached to the line slider 34, the straight portion 33d extends at approximately 90 degrees (approximately right angles) to the opening edge of the insertion hole 34e.

[0036] The bent portion 33e is an arc-shaped bent section formed continuously with the straight portion 33d, and is bent at an angle of approximately 90 degrees (approximately right angle) with respect to the straight portion 33d, approaching the other end 33b of the veil 33. The extended portion 33f is a substantially straight section formed continuously with the bent portion 33e. The extended portion 33f is positioned at approximately a right angle to the straight portion 33d.

[0037] As shown in Figure 2, the line slider 34 supports one end 33a of the bale 33 and also supports the end of the line roller 35. An insertion hole 34e is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the line slider 34 through which the one end 33a of the bale 33 is inserted.

[0038] When attaching one end 33a of the bale 33 to the line slider 34, the other end 33b of the bale 33 is inserted into the housing of the line slider 34, and the other end 33b is inserted through the insertion hole 34e from the housing side. Then, the bale 33 is passed through the insertion hole 34e in order, and finally one end 33a of the bale 33 is passed through the insertion hole 34e. If the mounting portion 33c of the bale 33 is roughly C-shaped or curved, the end of the mounting portion 33c may be directly inserted into the insertion hole 34e from the front side of the line slider 34 for attachment.

[0039] Then, when attaching the line slider 34 to one of the bale support members 32, as shown in Figure 2, a line roller 35 is placed between the line slider 34 and the one of the bale support members 32, and a fixing screw 36 is passed through the mounting portion 33c of the bale 33 and the line slider 34 from the line slider 34 side. After that, the fixing screw 36 is screwed into and tightened on the cylindrical support shaft 32a of the one of the bale support members 32 that supports the line roller 35. This allows one end 33a of the bale 33, the line slider 34, and the line roller 35 to be attached together to one of the bale support members 32.

[0040] One of the bale support members 32, as shown in Figure 3, comprises a bale leg portion 321 and a support portion 322 provided continuously with the bale leg portion 321. The one of the bale support members 32 shown in Figure 3 is viewed from direction X1, which will be explained below based on the positional relationship of the line roller 35 in Figure 4. Figure 4 is a front view of the rotor 3 as seen from the direction of the rotor 3's central axis O2. In Figure 4, the first reference plane M1 is defined as the vertical plane containing the rotor 3's central axis O2 (the plane passing through the center of the body 10), and the second reference plane M2 is defined as the plane containing the line roller 35's central axis O1. The figure shows one of the bale support members 32 positioned such that the second reference plane M2 is parallel to the first reference plane M1. In this positional relationship shown in Figure 4, the view from the X1 direction, which is perpendicular to the second reference plane M2, is the side view of the one of the bale support members 32 shown in Figure 3. Note that the one of the bale support members 32 shown in Figure 3 is represented in the same form when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the central axis O1 of the line roller 35 and perpendicular to the central axis O2 of the rotor 3 (see Figure 1, the same applies hereafter).

[0041] As shown in Figure 3, the bale leg portion 321 is a part that is rotatably attached to the support arm 31 (see Figure 1). The bale leg portion 321 is inclined toward the side away from the spool 4 (to the right in the plane of Figure 3) toward the support portion 322 from the base portion 321a attached to the support arm 31.

[0042] As shown in Figure 6, the bale leg portion 321 has a curved concave inner portion 327 facing the spool 4. The bale support member 32 shown in Figure 6 is a bottom view (bottom view) taken from the bottom side in a direction perpendicular to the pivot axis 321b with respect to the support arm 31 (not shown). As shown in Figure 6, the inner surface 327 has a gentle, non-constricting curve from the base 321a side towards the support portion 22. The radius of curvature of the inner surface 327 is set to 10-20 mm.

[0043] The support portion 322 is the part that supports the line roller 35 and the line slider 34. The support portion 322 extends forward of the fishing spinning reel R1, continuous with the bail leg portion 321 (see Figure 1). An external inclined surface 323 is formed on the outer surface of the support portion 322 (the surface opposite to the inner surface to which the line roller 35 is attached). The external inclined surface 323 is formed on the outer surface of the support portion 322 in a region onto which the radial cross-sectional shape of the line roller 35 is projected. The external inclined surface 323 is inclined from the base end side of the support portion 322 (the base end side of one bail support member 32) toward the tip side of the support portion 322, approaching the inner surface side of one bail support member 32. As a result, the shape of the outer edge of one bail support member 32 is bent in a roughly V-shape at the boundary (top) 325 between the bail leg portion 321 and the support portion 322.

[0044] In this embodiment, the external inclined surface 323 extends from the point P2 where the first reference line K1 intersects with the outer surface of one of the bale support members 32, when a first reference line K1 is drawn parallel to the central axis O1 of the line slider 34 and passes through the joint point P1 between the line slider 34 and the bale 33, toward the tip end of one of the bale support members 32. Here, on the plane of Figure 3, the inclination angle θ1 of the external inclined surface 323 with respect to the vertical can be set in the range of 10 to 20 degrees. By setting the inclination angle θ1 within this range, the weight of the tip end of one of the bale support members 32 can be reduced, while the fishing line can be suitably guided from the base end side toward the tip end side of one of the bale support members 32, and toward the inner surface side of one of the bale support members 32. As shown in Figure 5(b), the outer surface of one of the bale support members 32, including the external inclined surface 323, is smooth and does not expose the end of the fixing screw 36 (see Figure 2).

[0045] The support portion 322 is provided with a curved surface 324 that is continuous with the extended end of the external inclined surface 323. The curved surface 324 is curved so as to approach the inner surface of one of the bale support members 32. A hood portion 326 is integrally formed at the tip of the support portion 322, continuous with the curved surface 324. As shown in Figure 7(a), the hood portion 326 extends from the support portion 322 toward the line slider 34 and partially covers the line roller 35. As shown in Figure 7(b), the line slider 34 has an engaging portion 341 into which the extended end of the hood portion 326 engages. When engaged with the engaging portion 341, the extended end of the hood portion 326 protrudes somewhat radially outward from the outer circumferential surface of the line slider 34. The amount of protrusion of the extended end of the hood portion 326 should be such that there is a slight step difference between the extended end of the hood portion 326 and the outer circumferential surface of the line slider 34.

[0046] As shown in Figures 5(a) and 5(b), a lateral inclined surface 328 is formed on the side surface of the support portion 322 (the side away from the spool 4). The lateral inclined surface 328 is formed on the side surface of the support portion 322 in the region where the radial cross-sectional shape of the line roller 35 is projected. The lateral inclined surface 328 is inclined from the base end side of the support portion 322 (the base end side of one of the bail support members 32) toward the tip end side of the support portion 322, approaching the spool 4 side.

[0047] As shown in Figure 5(a), the lateral inclined surface 328 of this embodiment extends toward the spool 4 when a second reference line K2 is drawn passing through the joint point P1 between the line slider 34 and the bail 33 and extending radially outward from the spool 4, starting from the intersection point P3 between the second reference line K2 and the side surface of one of the bail support members 32. Here, on the plane of Figures 5(a) and (b), the inclination angle θ2 of the lateral inclined surface 328 with respect to the vertical can be set in the range of 10 to 20 degrees. By setting the inclination angle θ2 within this range, the tip end of one of the bail support members 32 can be made lighter, while the fishing line can be suitably guided from the base end side toward the tip end side of one of the bail support members 32, and toward the inner surface side of one of the bail support members 32.

[0048] As described above, with the spinning reel R1 for fishing, even if the fishing line becomes entangled around one of the bail support members 32, the external inclined surface 323 can guide the fishing line from the base end to the tip end of one of the bail support members 32, and towards the inner surface of one of the bail support members 32. This makes it easier for the entangled fishing line to escape from the tip end of one of the bail support members 32, and the entanglement is effectively resolved. Therefore, fishing operability is improved. Furthermore, for example, if the slack fishing line becomes entangled with one of the bail support members 32 when the bail 33 is returned by rotating the handle 2, applying tension to the entangled fishing line by rotating the handle 2 causes the fishing line to move along the external inclined surface 323 in a direction that allows it to escape from the one of the bail support members 32, thus effectively resolving the entanglement.

[0049] Furthermore, according to the spinning reel R1 for fishing of this embodiment, the fishing line is guided by the lateral inclined surface 328 from the base end side to the tip end side of one of the bail support members 32, and toward the spool 4 side. As a result, tangled fishing lines can be easily released from the tip end side of one of the bail support members 32, and line tangling is effectively resolved. Therefore, fishing operability is improved. Furthermore, by rotating the handle 2, tension is applied to the tangled fishing line, causing the fishing line to move along the lateral inclined surface 328 in a direction that allows it to escape from one of the bail support members 32, thus effectively resolving the tangle.

[0050] Furthermore, according to the spinning reel R1 for fishing of this embodiment, the synergistic effect of the two external inclined surfaces 323 and the side inclined surface 328 causes the fishing line to be guided three-dimensionally from the base end side to the tip end side of one bail support member 32, and also toward the inner surface side of one bail support member 32 and the spool 4 side. As a result, tangled fishing lines can be easily released from the tip end side of one bail support member 32, and line tangling is effectively resolved. Therefore, fishing operability is improved. Furthermore, by rotating the handle 2, tension is applied to the tangled fishing line, causing the fishing line to move along the external inclined surface 323 and the side inclined surface 328 in a direction that allows the fishing line to escape from one of the bail support members 32, thus effectively resolving the tangle.

[0051] Furthermore, since the external inclined surface 323 is formed in the region of the outer surface that is on the tip side of one of the bail support members 32, rather than the joint point P1 between the line slider 34 and the bail 33, the tangled fishing line can be effectively guided toward the tip side of one of the bail support members 32 and toward the inner surface side of one of the bail support members 32. This effectively resolves line entanglement. Furthermore, the external inclined surface 323 allows for weight reduction at the tip end of one of the bail support members 32, thereby reducing the inertial force of the rotor 3 and enabling smooth rotational performance of the rotor 3. This improves fishing operability.

[0052] Furthermore, since a lateral inclined surface 328 is formed on the side region of one bail support member 32 that is closer to the tip end than the joint point P1 between the line slider 34 and the bail 33, the tangled fishing line can be effectively guided toward the tip end of one bail support member 32 and toward the spool 4. This effectively resolves line tangling.

[0053] Furthermore, since the inner portion 327 of the bail leg portion 321 facing the spool 4 has a gently curved shape without a constriction, the tangled fishing line is guided more smoothly from the base end to the tip end of one of the bail support members 32 compared to when the inner portion has a large radius of curvature. As a result, in combination with the effects of the external inclined surface 323 and the side inclined surface 328, line tangling is effectively resolved.

[0054] Furthermore, the fishing line that has come out from the tip of one of the bail support members 32 can be guided to the line slider 34 side through the hood portion 326. This prevents the fishing line that has come out from the tip of one of the bail support members 32 from getting caught on the line roller 35.

[0055] Furthermore, the fishing line guided to the line slider 34 side through the hood portion 326 moves to the outer surface of the line slider 34, which is radially inward from the extended end of the hood portion 326 that protrudes somewhat radially outward. This prevents the fishing line that has come out from the tip of one of the bail support members 32 from getting caught in the engaging portion 341 during the process of moving towards the line slider 34 side.

[0056] Furthermore, since the fixing screw 36 can be screwed in from the line slider 34 side, there is no need to provide a screw hole on the outer surface of one of the bail support members 32, and the fixing screw 36 is not exposed on the outer surface of one of the bail support members 32. As a result, even if the fishing line moves along the outer surface of one of the bail support members 32 when the fishing line becomes tangled, the fishing line will not be damaged by contact with the screw hole. In addition, since at least a part of the head of the fixing screw 36 is housed inside the line slider 34, the fishing line is less likely to get tangled in the head of the fixing screw 36 on the line slider 34 side as well.

[0057] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the examples shown in the embodiments. For example, in this embodiment, the external inclined surface 323 is shown to be formed on the outer surface of the support portion 322 in a region where the radial cross-sectional shape of the line roller 35 is projected. However, it is not limited to this, and it may be formed extending outwards from the region where the cross-sectional shape is projected. Furthermore, although the lateral inclined surface 328 is shown formed on the side surface of the support portion 322 in the region where the radial cross-sectional shape of the line roller 35 is projected, it is not limited to this, and may be formed extending outwards from the region where the cross-sectional shape is projected.

[0058] Furthermore, while the shape of the outer edge of one of the bale support members 32 is shown as being bent in a roughly V-shape at the boundary (top) 325 between the bale leg portion 321 and the support portion 322, it is not limited to this, and various shapes can be adopted as long as an external inclined surface 323 and a side inclined surface 328 are formed.

[0059] Furthermore, although a fixing screw 36 was used to fix the line slider 34 to the bale support member 32, the system is not limited to this, and it may also be configured to be fixed by a pin member that is fixed by press-fitting or adhesive. [Explanation of Symbols]
