PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rotating operation member for braking force adjustment capable of bringing a desired braking force common use range (desired absolute maximum braking force) without affecting operability of other operation member such as handles and reel holding performance and capable of easily adjusting again a setting braking range (position) being a turning operating range (turning position), and provide a fishing reel with such a rotating operation member.SOLUTION: A fishing reel includes a spool brake mechanism integrally rotating with a spool by the rotating operation of a rotating operation member 60 being rotatably supported for braking force adjustment and imparting the braking force to the rotation in the line unwinding direction of the spool shaft in one side plate 3b of a reel body provided with a handle 10. The rotating operation member 60 has a turning operation part 60A related to the braking force adjustment and an indicator part 110 serving as an indicator of the turning position of the turning operation part 60A. The position of the indicator part 110 to the turning operation part 60A can be changed in the circumferential direction of the turning operation part 60A.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】ハンドル等の他の操作部材の操作性やリール保持性などに影響を及ぼすことなく、所望の制動力常用範囲(所望の最大制動力)をもたらす回動操作範囲(回動位置)である設定制動範囲(位置)が容易に調整し直すことができる制動力調節用の回転操作部材及びそのような回転操作部材を備える魚釣用リールを提供する。【解決手段】魚釣用リールは、ハンドル10が設けられるリール本体の一方の側板3bに回転自在に支持された制動力調節用の回転操作部材60の回転操作によってスプールと一体回転するスプール軸の釣糸繰り出し方向の回転に制動力を付与するスプール制動機構を備える。回転操作部材60は、制動力調節に関与する回動操作部60Aと、回動操作部60Aの回動位置の指標となる指標部110とを有し、回動操作部60Aに対する指標部110の位置が回動操作部60Aの周方向で変化可能である。【選択図】図4
