Abstract
In a spinning reel for fishing, by moving an actuator in accordance with an operation to move a bail support member from a fishing line retrieving position to a fishing line casting position, a cam surface of the actuator contacts with a cam surface of a securing member to bring a securing claw of the securing member into engagement with one of several securing grooves provided on the spool, thereby preventing the spool against rotation. On the other hand, movement of the actuator in accordance with a return operation to return the bail support member back to the fishing line retrieving position, separates the securing claw that was engaged with the securing grove from the securing groove, thereby allowing the spool to rotate.
