ABSTRACT:
A spinning reel adapted to be mounted on a fishing rod includes a reel body; a handle; a master gear; a pinion gear engaged with the master gear and rotated by the handle; a rotor that rotates integrally with the pinion gear; a spool; and a spool shaft. The spool shaft includes a shaft portion that is fixed to the spool and extends rearward from the spool through the pinion gear, the shaft portion having a rear end and a diameter, and a sliding portion that is connected to the rear end of the shaft portion and has a diameter that is larger than the diameter of the shaft portion. The reel further includes a rear drag mechanism including a bushing that is rotatably supported relative to the reel body and that supports the sliding portion such that the sliding portion cannot undergo rotation relative to the bushing but can move in the axial direction, and frictional engagement mechanism for preventing the bushing from rotating relative to the reel body by frictional engagement.
