a fishing spinning reel in which a kick lever is slidably mounted on one of a pair of arms formed on a periphery of a rotor at diametrically opposing positions and being slideable in response to rotation of a rotor . the sliding movement of the kick lever is transferred to a spring - biased bail arm to rotate it through a swingable link lever and a connecting lever . the swingable link lever and the connecting lever are used to amplify the stroke of the movement of the kick lever , thereby turning the bail arm over a large angle .
