A bail arm includes a first bail-support member, a second bail-support member,
a bail, a stationary shaft, a line roller, and a stationary shaft cover. The bail
includes a rod-shaped portion formed into a rod shape and a plate-shaped portion
formed into a plate shape. One end of the plate-shaped portion is inserted into
a slit-shaped groove portion formed in the stationary shaft cover such that at
least radially outer sides of the plate-shaped portion and the stationary shaft
cover define a continuous and smooth surface. The other end of the plate-shaped
portion is formed continuously and smoothly with the rod-shaped portion.
