The fishing line guided by the fixed shaft cover 46 is guided by the line roller 44, the direction is changed by the line roller 44, and the line is wound around the outer periphery of the spool 4. In this spinning reel, since the fixed shaft cover 46 is formed by pressing a metal such as an aluminum alloy, the fixed shaft cover 46 can be easily and inexpensively formed. In addition, the veil 41 made of a stainless alloy has a hole 46b.
Extends along the inside of the fixed shaft cover 46 from the fixed shaft 43
The veil 41 functions as a reinforcing member for the fixed shaft cover 46, and the hollow portion 46
Even if a is provided, the fixed shaft cover 46 can be maintained at a high strength.

[Other Embodiments] (a) In the above embodiment, a front drag type spinning reel has been described as an example, but a rear drag type spinning reel, a spinning reel having no drag, or a lever drag type spinning reel. The present invention can be applied to arbitrary spinning reels such as.

(B) In the above embodiment, the male screw 41 a formed at the other end of the bail 41 is screwed into the female screw 43 a formed inside the fixed shaft 43, and the bale 41 and the fixed shaft 43 are connected to each other. , But is not limited to this. As shown in FIG. 6, a bolt 52 is screwed into a female screw portion 43a formed at one end of the fixed shaft 43 to fix the fixed shaft 43 and the first bail support member 40.
Through hole 4 formed on the other end side of
3b and one end of the veil 41 may be fixed by brazing, for example. Also, one end of the bail 41 is fixed to the fixed shaft cover 46.
Or it may be fixed to the collar member 45.

(C) As shown in FIG. 7, a pipe portion 41b integrally formed with the fixed shaft cover 46, and a pipe portion 41
The bale 41 is fixed to the inside of the bale 41 by, for example, brazing and fixing the shaft portion 41c extending from the hole 46b to the cavity 46a.
May be configured.
