Abstract:
A spinning reel for fishing comprising:a reel body defining a leg portion attachable to a fishing rod; a rotor rotatably supported on said reel body; a spool rotatably attached to said reel body, a fishline being wound around said spool by rotating said rotor; a first drag mechanism which applies a first resistance to a rotation of said spool; a change-over mechanism changing over between a state of operation and a state of nonoperation of said first drag mechanism; an operation member, which operates said change-over mechanism, attached to said leg portion so that said operation member can be operated by a finger of a hand holding said fishing rod; and an anti-reverse mechanism which prevents a reverse rotation of said rotor, wherein said operation member operates said anti-reverse mechanism to change over between a state of operation and a state of no-operation of said anti-reverse mechanism, wherein the operation states of the anti-reverse mechanism are interlocked with the operation states of the change-over mechanism by the operation member.
