Abstract:
A spinning reel for fishing comprising:a spool shaft supported by a reel body; a spool which includes a fishing-line winding barrel portion around which a fishing line is wound, and is rotatably supported by the spool shaft; a braking device provided in a rear portion of an inner side of the fishing-line winding barrel portion for applying braking force to rotation of the spool, the braking device including, an outer-side holding member which is non-rotatably attached to the spool and includes a tapered surface, an inner-side holding member which is non-rotatably attached to the spool shaft and includes a tapered surface opposed to the tapered surface of the outer-side holding member, and rolling members clamped between the outer-side holding member and the inner-side holding member; an adjusting member provided at a distal end portion of the spool shaft for adjusting the braking force by relatively displacing the outer-side holding member and the inner-side holding member in an axial direction of the spool shaft so as to adjust clamping force generated by the rolling members in cooperation with the outer-side holding member and the inner-side holding member, and a click mechanism interposed between the adjusting member and the braking device in the axial direction, wherein the spool includes a partition wall portion defining the rear portion and a front portion of the fishing-line winding barrel portion.
