A reciprocating mechanism includes a worm shaft, a slider, a first guide shaft, and an elastic member. The worm shaft includes spiral grooves, and is rotated while the handle is rotated. The slider is reciprocated in the axial direction together with the spool shaft in conjunction with the rotation of the worm shaft. The first guide shaft includes a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion, and guides the reciprocating movement of the slider by an intermediate portion between the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion. The elastic member is mounted on the outer perimeter of at least one of the first supporting portion and the second supporting portion, and supports the first guide shaft in the reel body.

A fishing reel includes a support member, a bail assembly, an input shaft, and a gear box, according to an exemplary embodiment. The bail assembly is coupled with the support member. The bail assembly is configured to retrieve or let out a fishing line. The input shaft is configured to receive an input torque. The gear box is configured to be driven by the input shaft and drive the bail assembly to retrieve the fishing line. The input shaft is configured to receive the input torque in a clockwise direction and drive the bail assembly to operate in a counter-clockwise direction to retrieve the fishing line.

A spinning reel for fishing includes a rotor, a fishing line guiding mechanism, and a bail reversing mechanism. The rotor has a cylindrical portion, and first and second rotor arms disposed in opposed positions on the cylindrical portion. The fishing line guiding mechanism has a line roller to guide a fishing line, a bail, first and second bail support members supporting first and second ends of the bail, the first bail support member coupled to the first rotor arm, and the second bail support member coupled to the second rotor arm. The bail reversing mechanism inverts the fishing line guiding mechanism to line casting or line winding positions. The line roller is disposed on the first bail support member and the bail reversing mechanism is disposed inside the second rotor arm. The first rotor arm includes two support legs extending forwardly from an outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion.

In a reversing mechanism for a bail in a fishing spinning reel, an abutting member for returning includes a bearing that a rotational movement shaft is inserted into, a projection portion that projects from the bearing in a radially outward direction, and a protrusion portion that protrudes from the projection portion in an axial direction of the rotational movement shaft. The projection portion includes a first abutting portion that abuts a guide in the first half of a rotational movement of the abutting member for returning. The protrusion portion includes a second abutting portion that abuts the guide in the latter half of a rotational movement of the abutting member for returning. The guide comprises a first flat guide face that on which the first abutting portion abuts and a second flat guide face on which the second abutting portion abuts.
