PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spinning reel for fishing which includes a drag device capable of obtaining stable drag performance over the whole region of a drag action including a region having a smaller drag braking force that requires smooth beginning to slide.SOLUTION: A spinning reel for fishing includes: a drag device 20 in which a brake member 30 is accommodated in a recessed part 1A formed in the front of a spool 1 rotatably supported by a spool shaft 2, and an adjustment unit 22 screw-engaged with the tip of the spool shaft 2 is rotated to vary the contact pressure force of the brake member 30 so that the frictional coupling force in the rotating direction of the spool 1 to the spool shaft 2 can be adjusted an opposite part 20 provided integrally with the spool shaft 2 and disposed opposite to a rear end part 1d of the spool 1 and a thrust bearing 50 interposed between the rear end part 1d of the spool 1 and the opposite part 10 to support the contact pressure force of the brake member 30 acting on the spool 1 in the shaft direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】滑らかな滑り出しが要求されるドラグ制動力の小さい領域を含めてドラグ作用の全領域にわたって安定したドラグ性能を得ることができるドラグ装置を備えた魚釣用スピニングリールを提供する。【解決手段】魚釣用スピニングリールは、スプール軸2に回転可能に支持されたスプール1の前部に形成した凹部1Aに制動部材30を収容し、スプール軸2の先端部に螺合される調節体22を回転操作することで、制動部材30の圧接力を変えてスプール軸2に対するスプール1の回転方向の摩擦結合力を調節可能とするドラグ装置20と、スプール軸2と一体的に設けられ、スプール1の後端部1dと対向配置される対向部10と、スプール1の後端部1dと対向部10との間に介挿され、スプール1に作用する制動部材30の圧接力を軸方向で支持するスラストベアリング50とを備える。【選択図】図1
