The present invention relates to a leader member attached to a recording tape to be contained in a recording tape cartridge. A pin is provided at each end of the leader member, and the pins are resiliently projectable by springs. The springs each absorb a load generated when the leader member is attached to or detached from a cartridge case. A receiving portion is provided independently from a connecting portion which connect to the leader member. In order to eliminate changes to a length of the connecting portion due to compression of the spring and to allow smooth connection of the leader member and the connection portion, the pin resiliently projects from the recess provided at an axial center of the receiving.
