Abstract
A rotor assembly for a fishing reel, which rotor assembly has a rotor with a first rotational axis and forward and rear ends spaced axially relative to the first axis. The rotor assembly further has a bail assembly that is repositionable relative to the rotor between cast and retrieve positions. The bail assembly has a first arm that is pivotable around a second axis relative to the rotor as the bail assembly moves between the cast and retrieve positions. The rotor assembly further has a trigger that is movable relative to the rotor around a third axis between normal and actuated positions. The bail assembly is movable from the retrieve position towards the cast position as an incident of the trigger moving from the normal position to the actuated position. The third axis is spaced forwardly of the second axis.
