DESCRIZIONE
The present invention provides a reel leg (71) fixing apparatus (10) having a sufficient strength in the coupling (20) between the operation nut (18) and the movable hood (15) while reducing the thickness and the weight of the movable hood (15) efficiently and effectively. In the reel leg (71) fixing apparatus (10) according to the present invention, the movable hood (15) and the operation nut (18) are coupled together when a locking portion (15f) bent and provided at an end of the movable hood (15) is engaged with a recess (18g) at an end of the operation nut (18). The movable hood (15) is formed of a prepreg sheet (40) as a fiber-reinforced resin member including reinforcement fibers (42) impregnated with a synthetic resin, and the reinforcement fibers (42) oriented at least in the axial direction extend continuously at least in a coupling (20) between the movable hood (15) and the operation nut (18).
