ABSTRACT:
A spinning reel has a reel body, a rotor rotatably supported to the reel body, a bail arm extending between a pair of arm portions of the rotor and pivotably switchable between an open position and a line-takeup position, a toggle mechanism disposed inside the arm portions for retaining the bail arm either to the open position or to the line-takeup position and a return mechanism for returning the bail arm from the open position to the line-takeup position when the rotor is rotated in a line-takeup direction. The invention further provides the reel with a returning force adjustment mechanism for variably setting at a desired value a reaction force needed for returning the bail arm from the open position to the line-takeup position.
