A spinning-reel fishing line guiding mechanism that readily does away with fishing line entanglement. Arm section ( ) of first bail support member ( ) on bail arm ( ) lies within a sphere having a radius of a first distance R given by the maximum distance from a reference point P—which is the juncture between stationary shaft cover ( ) and bail ( )—to an outer peripheral portion of the arm section The arm section ( ) is formed such that distances R and R from the reference point P to points on its outer peripheral portion become gradually shorter than, heading outward from, the first distance R That is, the configuration is such that distances R become shorter than distances R
