Abstract
A spinning reel has a rotor; a bail pivotally connected to the rotor through a pair of oscillatable arms to be switchable between a line takeup position and a line release position; an anti-reverse mechanism including an engaging member and an engageable member, and operable by a lever mounted on a reel body to be switchable between a position to allow free rotation of the rotor, and a position to prevent backward rotation thereof and allow rotation only in a line winding direction; and a switching mechanism including a control member mounted on one end of the rotor for switching the bail, and a cam formed integral with the reel body for contacting the control member, the switching mechanism being operable, through interaction between the control member and the cam occurring with rotation in the line winding direction of the rotor, to switch the bail from the line takeup position to the line release position. The anti-reverse mechanism has a range of play for allowing the rotor to rotate in a line unwinding direction while the control member moves into contact with the cam. This enables the bail to be switched to the line release position smoothly even when the rotor is prevented from rotating backward.
