Abstract:
1. A spinning-reel sounding mechanism comprising: a non-rotatable spool shaft; an annular member non-rotatably coupled to the spool shaft and immovable in an axial rearward direction of the spool shaft; a tubular first sounding part rotatably coupled to the annular member along an outer periphery of the annular member and having a plurality of saw-tooth portions circumferentially spaced on an outer periphery of the first sounding part, each of the saw-tooth portions being configured and arranged in a saw-tooth shape that permits a spool to rotate only in a fishing-line reel-out direction; a second sounding part configured and arranged to be coupled to the spool to enable a distal end of the second sounding part to abut at least one of the saw-tooth portions in order to emit sound by the distal end repeatedly colliding with the saw-tooth portions when the spool rotates in the fishing-line reel-out direction; and a rotation-restricting member disposed between the annular member and the first sounding part for restricting rotation of the first sounding part.
