Abstract
A spinning reel has a reel body having a projection portion, a rotary frame, a bail arm and a toggle urge mechanism for switching over, via a drive arm, the bail arm between a fishing-line releasing position to a fishing-line retrieving position. Either a contacted portion of the drive arm to be contacted by the projection portion or this projection portion is projectable and retractable through contact with the other and is urged in a projecting direction by a projection urging mechanism. The projection urging mechanism has a push-out urging force equal to or substantially equal to a push-in force applied thereto by either the contacted portion or the projection portion in association with the rotary movement of the rotary frame in the line retrieving direction.
