Abstract
In a spinning reel for fishing, a bail is fitted via bail support members (5A, 5B) to the bail support arms (4A, 4B) of a rotor rotatably supported by a reel body. The bail support members are reversible between a fishline playing-out position and a fishline winding position. One bail support member is provided with a line roller. As the rotor rotates, the fishline is wound on the spool via the line roller. A fishline entanglement preventive member (8) is installed from the front part of the support member having the line roller fitted to one end of the bail toward the support member on the other end side of the bail, in order to ensure that a fishline is prevented from becoming entangled in the outer end portion in the axial direction of the line roller of the bail support member due to slackening and twisting of the fishline. With the benefit of the described structure, fishing can be enjoyed without encumbrance arising from fishline entanglement, in particular during the fishline winding operation.
