The spinning reel comprises a reel body (2a), an oscillating mechanism (20), a retaining member (60), and a first bolt member (61). A threaded shaft (20b) is attached to the inside portion of the reel body (2a). A slider (20c) slides along the threaded shaft (20b). The retaining member (60) is disposed at the rear of the threaded shaft (20b) and retains the threaded shaft (20b). The first bolt member (61) fixes the retaining member (60) to the reel body (2a) by being screwed to the reel body (2a). When the slider (20c) is positioned at the rear end portion of the threaded shaft (20b in a state where the first bolt member (61) has been screwed to the reel body (2a), at least one part of the shaft portion (61a) of the first bolt member (61) is disposed to have a prescribed spacing from the slider (20c) in an orthogonal direction to a sliding direction of the slider (20c).
