Abstract
A fishing spinning reel of the invention includes a spool wound with a fish line, a rotor rotatable through a pinion gear brought in mesh with a drive gear rotated by a winding operation of a handle, a switch mechanism including a switch lever capable of operating to switch a restricting state of restricting rotation of the spool and a free state of making the spool free, and a return mechanism for returning the switch mechanism brought into the spool free state to the restricting state by the winding operation of the handle. The return mechanism includes a connecting gear brought in mesh with a gear driven by the drive gear, and a kick member rotatably supported centering on the connecting gear, and a center of a mesh portion of the gear and the connecting gear is arranged on a side of the drive gear relative to an axis center of the pinion gear.
