A bail support mechanism includes a first bail support member, a striking member, a spring member, and an abutting surface. The abutting surface includes a first portion, a second portion, a stepped portion, and a sliding portion. The first portion is a portion that the striking member abuts when in the line guiding position. The second portion is a portion that the striking member abuts when in the line releasing position. The stepped portion is disposed between the first portion and the second portion. The sliding portion extends continuously from the first portion to the apex.
