Abstract
A spinning-type fishing reel having an improved bail changeover mechanism providing a light weight and simple reel construction while achieving high reliability and eliminating sources of line tangle. A bail arm is pivoted on a pair of opposed arms provided on a rotor in such a manner that the bail arm automatically returns from a line-releasing position to a line-rewinding position upon rotation of the rotor. A gear transmitting mechanism is linked with a bail-arm lever via a link mechanism having a plurality of links arranged so as to provide a dead point. A follower gear, rotatably linked with the link mechanism, is provided with a pin urged in the return direction of the bail arm by a spring. All members of the bail changeover mechanism are attached to the rotor and arranged such that a bail arm changeover cam and the pin block each other's movement in the line-releasing position of the bail arm.
