Abstract
A spinning reel includes a spool shaft, a handle, a pinion gear, a first intermediate gear, a second intermediate gear, and a reciprocating mechanism. The first intermediate gear is rotatably disposed around a first shaft parallel to the spool shaft. The first intermediate gear includes a first large-diameter gear which meshes with the pinion gear and a first small-diameter gear which integrally rotates with the first large-diameter gear. The second intermediate gear is rotatably disposed around a second shaft parallel to the first shaft. The second intermediate gear includes a second large-diameter gear which meshes with the first small-diameter gear and a second small-diameter gear which integrally rotates with the second large-diameter gear. The reciprocating mechanism includes a driven gear which meshes with the second small-diameter gear and reciprocates the spool shaft in the front-rear direction.
