Claim:
1. A fishing spinning reel comprising: a reel body; a handle adapted to be rotatably supported on the reel body; a drive gear adapted to be rotationally driven by rotational operation of the handle; a pinion gear adapted to mesh with the drive gear; a rotor adapted to be fixed on a distal end of the pinion gear; a spool shaft adapted to be inserted through the pinion gear so as to maintain a gap between the spool shaft and an inner circumferential surface of the pinion gear; a spool mounted on a front end of the spool shaft, wherein the spool is adapted to hold a fishing line wound therearound; an oscillation device adapted to support a rear end of the spool shaft, wherein the oscillation device is adapted to reciprocate the spool shaft back and forth in accordance with drive of the drive gear, and a support member adapted to support the front end of the spool shaft and having a concentric fitting portion for achieving concentricity with respect to the pinion gear, wherein the spool shaft is supported at only two points, one at the support member positioned in front of a front end of the pinion gear, and the other at a slide member of the oscillation device, whereby an outer circumferential surface of the spool shaft does not contact the inner circumferential surface of the pinion gear and the gap is maintained.
