A spinning reel configured such that when a rotor rotates in a line-winding direction, the attitude of a bail arm is switched from a line-releasing attitude to a line-winding attitude. The spinning reel includes a reel body and a bail reversing mechanism. The bail reversing mechanism includes an engagement member and a switching member. The reel body has an accommodation recess for accommodating at least a portion of the switching member. The engagement member engages the bail arm. The switching member is disposed on the reel body. The switching member switches the attitude of the bail arm via the engagement member by contact with the engagement member.
