Abstract
An internal bail arm latching and releasing mechanism for a spinning reel includes a spring biased bail arm 10 secured at one end to a pivot cam 8 rotatably mounted on a post 31 extending out from a support housing 7 integral with the reel rotor 1. The pivot cam carries two bosses in their spaced relationship adapted to engage a detent 25 of a spring biased slidably mounted L-shaped kick lever 18 having an upright portion 19. The latter is positioned to strike a key plate 27 when the rotor is turned with the bail arm cocked. This forces the kick lever outwardly to release the bail arm as it swings over to the rewind position. The boss 16 abuts the detent to hold the kick lever to thereby provide rotational clearance between the upright portion and the key plate.
