A line guiding mechanism for a spinning reel includes a spool, rotor arms for winding a fishing line around the spool, a first support part supported by a rotor arm, a line roller disposed on the first support part and that guides fishing line onto the spool, and a fin. A proximal end part of the fin is disposed on a first support part and a distal end part of the fin has a line guide part facing the line roller and configured to pivotably move.

The present invention is a line roller unit that includes a line roller, a bearing, a cylindrical member, and a first magnetic seal. The line roller possesses a guider on its periphery surface that guides a fishing line. The bearing is set up on the inner circumference of the line roller, with the cylindrical member possessing a holding part that holds bearing. The cylindrical member is set up on the inner circumference of bearing. The first magnetic seal possesses both a first magnet and a first holding member that holds the first magnet, and the first magnetic seal forms the first magnetic circuit for holding the magnetic liquid at the space between the cylindrical member. The first magnetic seal is set up on the line roller.

A rotor for a spinning reel for fishing, includes a cylindrical portion, a first rotor arm, a second rotor arm and a reinforcement portion. The cylindrical portion has a rear end opening that is open. The first rotor arm extends forward from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion and configured to couple to a first bail support portion including a line roller. The second rotor arm is at a position opposing the first rotor arm, extending forward from the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion, and configured to couple to a second bail support portion holding an end of a bail that extends from the first bail support portion. The reinforcement portion has a wall portion that is thicker than a surrounding portion, and is disposed on an inner peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion in a position at which the first rotor arm is disposed.

A first seal member is disposed forward of a one-way clutch so as to prevent water intrusion into the one-way clutch. A second seal member is disposed forward of the first seal member so as to prevent water intrusion into the one-way clutch. Further, the second seal member has a first inner peripheral surface disposed with a gap from an outer peripheral surface of a tubular portion. The first inner peripheral surface facing the outer peripheral surface of a tubular portion. At least either of the first inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the tubular portion has water-repellent properties.

A line roller includes a cylindrical guide member including a guide surface on an outer perimeter for guiding a fishing line, an axle bearing member rotatably supporting an inner perimeter surface of the guide member, and a support member supporting the axle bearing member. The axle bearing member includes an inner ring supported by the support member, an outer ring integrally rotatable with the guide member, a rolling body disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a grease holding unit holding water-repellent grease between the inner ring and the outer ring.

A rotor for a spinning reel is configured to rotate about a spool shaft, and includes a tubular portion and a plate-shaped portion. The tubular portion is disposed away from the spool shaft at a predetermined interval. The plate-shaped portion includes a radially outer part and a radially inner part. The radially outer part is integrated with an inner peripheral part of the tubular portion. The radially inner part extends from the radially outer part toward the spool shaft. The radially outer part has a smaller thickness than at least a part of the radially inner part.

According to the present disclosure, in a fishing reel that comprises component members of various types arranged in a reel body, winds up a fishing line around a spool, and releases the fishing line that has been wound up around the spool, the component members are arranged in a contact state or a proximity state, the component members comprising different types of materials that are different in a raw material, and a corrosion member is attachably/detachably arranged on the component members in a conductive state, the corrosion member having a potential difference that is greater than the potential difference between the component members comprising the different types of materials.

A line roller for guiding fishing line onto a spool of a spinning reel, includes a bearing member, a retaining member and a guide member. The bearing member includes an inner ring, an outer ring, and a rolling body. The retaining member abuts both ends of the outer ring. The guide member includes a guide surface for guiding the fishing line, is disposed radially outside of the retaining member, and engages the retaining member.

Various embodiments provide a fishing reel having a light-weight, compact and easy-to-assemble magnetic seal mechanism which allows greater freedom in material selection of the rotating member. A fishing reel according to one embodiment comprises a rotating body rotatably supported via a ball bearing and a magnetic seal mechanism for sealing the ball bearing. In one aspect, the magnetic seal mechanism comprises a magnet disposed in parallel with either a magnetic inner or outer ring of the ball bearing, and magnetic fluid disposed between the magnet and said inner or outer ring, magnetic fluid being retained by a magnetic circuit formed therebetween to seal space defined between the magnet and said inner or outer ring.

A reel for fishing line or the like provides for extremely rapid payout by releasing the line to unwind by sliding rapidly around a guide surrounding the line spool and by rotation of the line spool itself. A lever controls a line guide preventing sliding of the fishing line around the guide and providing controllable friction and locking of rotation of the line spool only when actuated by the user to permit retraction of the line or controlled tensioning of the line.
