ABSTRACT:
A stopper apparatus for a spinning reel includes a ratchet wheel mounted for unitary rotation on a sleeve shaft loosely fitted on a spool shaft, and a ratchet pawl engageable with the ratchet wheel. The ratchet wheel and pawl is switchable by a switching lever between an operative position to prevent a rotary frame from rotating in a line unwinding direction, while allowing the rotary frame to rotate in a line winding direction, and an inoperative position to allow the rotary frame to rotate in the line unwinding direction as well as the line winding direction. A resistor is connected to the switching lever to act on the rotary frame. When the switching lever is operated to switch the ratchet wheel and pawl to the operative position, the resistor is also switched to a position to apply a resistance to the rotary frame before the pawl fully engages the ratchet wheel.
