Abstract
In a spinning reel for fishing, a brake member is attached to a rotor, which, when a bail support member is operated or reversed from its fishing line retrieving state to its fishing line casting state, is pressed against a spool to thereby brake the rotation of the rotor. The bail support member can be returned from the fishing line casting state to the fishing line retrieving state through a reversing mechanism if the rotor is rotated with a handle in the fishing line retrieving direction. The spinning reel for fishing can prevent the inadvertent operation of a bail in a fishing line casting operation and thereby improve the fishing operation of the spinning reel.
