PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a spinning reel which is lightened, has a strength capable of resisting to loads on winding operations, and can improve the feelings of the operations.SOLUTION: The spinning reel includes a handle 5 having a handle shaft 20 for driving a winding driving mechanism disposed in a reel body 1, and an arm portion 30 which is attached to the handle shaft 20 and at whose end portion a grip portion 40 for rotation operations is disposed. The arm portion 30 has a laminated structure comprising a non-metallic plate-like core material 35 and metallic reinforcing plates 31 formed in smaller thickness than the core material 35 and nipping the core material 35 from both the sides of the handle shaft 20 in the axial direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】軽量化を図りつつ巻取操作時の荷重に耐え得る強度を有するとともに、操作フィーリングの向上を図る。【解決手段】リール本体1内に設けられた巻取駆動機構を駆動するためのハンドル軸20と、このハンドル軸20に取り付けられ、端部に回転操作用のツマミ部40が設けられたアーム部30とを有するハンドル5を備えた魚釣用リールであって、アーム部30は、非金属製の板状の芯材35と、芯材35よりも薄く形成され、芯材35をハンドル軸20の軸心方向の両側から挟み込む金属製の補強板31と、を含む積層構造とされている構成とした。【選択図】図2
