Abstract
A spinning reel rotor whose portions that are liable to contact other objects are kept from being damaged. The rotor has a rotor body , a bail arm , and a rotor cover . The rotor body has a cylindrical section that is rotatively fitted to the reel body , and that has a ring-like large-diameter portion diametrically larger than the rest, and a pair of rotor arms including a pair of connecting sections extending diametrically outward from opposing circumferential surface positions rear-endwise on the large-diameter portion and a pair of arms extending forward spaced apart from the cylindrical section . The bail arm is pivotally fitted tip-endwise to the pair of rotor arms , and is for guiding and fishing line onto the spool. The rotor cover is a member fitted so as to cover the large-diameter portion and external exposed surfaces of the pair of connecting sections, and to allow detachment from and reattachment to the rotor body
