A spinning reel for casting a fishing line in a forward direction includes a reel body, a spool shaft, a pinion gear, a bushing and a bearing. The spool shaft is supported by the reel body so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction. The pinion gear has a tubular shape and an interior, the spool shaft penetrating through the interior. The bushing has a support portion supporting the spool shaft, and a housing portion that has a larger diameter than an inner diameter of the support portion and that is fixed to the reel body by press-fitting. The bearing is attached to the housing portion of the bushing and supporting the pinion gear.
