Spinning reel

A spinning reel comprising:

• a reel body;
• a spool shaft supported so as to be movable in a front-rear direction with respect to the reel body;
• a spool connected to the spool shaft and around which a fishing line is capable of being wound on an outer periphery thereof;
• a handle rotatably supported by the reel body;
• a pinion gear rotatably supported by the reel body and rotation of the handle is transmitted thereto;
• a first intermediate gear including a first large-diameter gear that meshes with the pinion gear and a first small-diameter gear that has a smaller diameter than the first large-diameter gear and is configured to integrally rotate with the first large-diameter gear, and is rotatably disposed around a first shaft parallel to the spool shaft;
• a second intermediate gear including a second large-diameter gear that meshes with the first small-diameter gear and a second small-diameter gear that has a smaller diameter than the second large-diameter gear and integrally rotates with the second large-diameter gear, and is rotatably disposed around a second shaft parallel to the first shaft;
• and
• a reciprocating mechanism including a driven gear that meshes with the second small-diameter gear and a worm shaft that integrally rotates with the driven gear and reciprocates the spool shaft in the front-rear direction.
