Abstract:
1. A rotor braking device for a spinning reel that brakes a rotor rotatively mounted on a reel unit of the spinning reel in response to a pivoting of a bail arm that pivots between a line-winding position and a line-releasing position, said rotor braking device comprising: a moving member that is coupled to the bail arm and provided on the rotor so as to be movable between a first position that corresponds to the line-winding position and a second position that corresponds to the line-releasing position, a part of said moving member projecting toward the reel unit when said moving member is in the second position; and a braking member that includes a drag portion and a plurality of engagement portions, said drag portion frictionally and relatively rotatably engaging with the reel unit, said plurality of engagement portions engaging with said projecting part of said moving member when said moving member is in the second position, said drag portion being frictionally rubbed against the reel unit when said projecting part of said moving member engages with one of said engagement portions.
