The handle assembly (1) of the spinning reel (100) includes a metal shaft member (7), a metal handle arm (8), a handle grip (9), and a metal first cylindrical member (30). The shaft member (7) has an attachment threaded portion (7a) that is screwed to the drive gear shaft (10) disposed at the one end and a coupling portion (7b) disposed at the other end. The handle arm (8) has a connected portion (8a) that is coupled to the coupling portion (7b) while being about to be pivoted around the radial axis of the shaft member (7). The handle grip (9) is attached to the handle arm (8) while being rotatable around an axis that is parallel to the shaft member (7). The first tubular member (30) has a first pipe portion (30a) that is disposed on the outer circumferential side of the shaft member (7) and is capable of making contact with the handle arm (8) and a second pipe portion (30b) that is integrally formed to the first pipe portion (30a), has a smaller diameter than that of the first pipe portion (30a), and is capable of making contact with the drive gear shaft (10).
