A fishing line guide member may include a line contacting surface that is in contact with a fishing line. The line contacting surface may have an arithmetic mean roughness Ra of 0.4 μm or less, the arithmetic mean roughness Ra being obtained from a roughness profile. Further, the line contacting surface may have a core roughness depth Rk of 0.3 μm or more and 1.5 μm or less, the core roughness depth Rk being obtained from the roughness profile.
