A spinning reel is provided which includes a reel body, a driving shaft supported rotatably relative to the reel body, and anti-reverse rotation gear supported non-rotatably relative to the driving shaft to impede reverse rotation thereof, and a retaining pawl pivotally supported to the reel body for detachable engagement with the reverse rotation gear. A pawl control member is supported rotatably relative to the driving shaft and includes an impeding portion to impede the retaining pawl from engagement with the anti-reverse rotation gear and an engagement-allowing portion for allowing the retaining pawl to engage with the anti-reverse rotation gear. The pawl control member rotates substantially in concert with the driving shaft during at least a portion of a complete revolution of the driving shaft. An operating member is supported movably to the reel body to change the positions of the impeding portion and the engagement-allowing portion of the pawl control member with respect to the retaining pawl, so that alternatively the impeding portion prevents the retaining pawl from engaging with the anti-reverse rotation gear and the engagement-allowing portion allows the retaining pawl to make such engagement.
