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.

A fishing spinning reel according to the present disclosure has a pinion that is rotationally driven by a rotation operation of a handle rotatably supported on a reel body, a rotor comprising a boss portion that is fixed to the pinion by a fixing structure, and a one-way clutch that is disposed on the pinion and comprises an inner ring, an outer ring, and a holder holding a plurality of rolling members. The fixing structure has a cylindrical member that is a separate member from the inner ring and comprises a first abutting portion covering the boss portion and abutting on the rotor, and a second abutting portion that is located on a radially inner side of the first abutting portion and abuts on a distal end of the inner ring.

A line slack prevention member to be disposed on a bail support member having a line roller, the line slack prevention member includes a base portion attached to the bail support member, and a fin portion extending from the base portion toward the line roller, the fin portion having a distal end part configured to face the line roller and curving and bulging in a direction in which a fishing line passes.
