Abstract
A spinning reel includes a handle, a housing, a rotor, a bail arm, a moving member and an abutting member. The bail arm is attached to the rotor and is pivotable between a first posture and a second posture. The moving member is positioned in a first position when the bail arm is in the first posture, moving member positioned in a second position behind the first position when the bail arm is in the second posture, and is rotatable together with the rotor. The abutting member is attached to the housing and abuts the moving member in the second position to move the moving member toward the first position. The returning device returns the bail arm to the first posture from the second posture when the moving member moves toward the first position from the second position.
