Abstract
A spinning reel includes an anti-reverse mechanism for selectively preventing a rotor from rotating in a reverse direction, and a click device for selectively producing clicks when the rotor rotates in the reverse or forward direction. The click device includes a click pawl engageable with a click gear rotatable with the rotor to produce clicks, a switch lever for enabling the click pawl to engage with and disengage from the click gear, and a brake lever for keeping the click pawl engaging the click gear when the rotor rotates in the reverse direction. Clicks can be generated as desired when the rotor rotates in the forward or reverse direction. When the rotor rotates in the reverse direction, the click pawl is caused by the brake lever to engage the click gear to produce clicks and simultaneously resist the reverse rotation of the rotor.
