An abutting member for returning comprises a bearing that a rotational movement shaft is inserted into, a projection portion that projects from the bearing in a radially outward direction, and a protrusion portion that protrudes from the projection portion in an axial direction of the rotational movement shaft. The projection portion comprises a first abutting portion that abuts onto a guide in the first half of a rotational movement of the abutting member for returning. The protrusion portion comprises a second abutting portion that abuts onto the guide in the latter half of a rotational movement of the abutting member for returning. The guide comprises a first guide face that the first abutting portion abuts onto, and a second guide face that the second abutting portion abuts onto. A length L1 from a center of swinging of the guide to the first guide face and a length L2 from the center to the second guide face satisfy a relationship of L1>L2.

The present invention provides a fishing spinning reel including a reel unit and a rotor that is rotatably supported by the reel unit. The reel unit includes: a body that has a side opening portion and in which a spool reciprocating device is housed and supported; a lid that closes the side opening portion; and a cover member mounted on a rear portion of the body. A handle shaft is rotatably supported by the body and the lid. In the rear portion of the body, a rear opening portion for receiving at least a part of a component of the spool reciprocating device and disposing the component on the rear side is formed. The cover member covers the rear opening portion and the component.
