An indicating section (70) is formed in a rear flange portion (4c) of a metal spool (4). The indicating section includes first and second stepped portions (71,72). These portions are indicators for the amount of fishing line wound around spool. The first stepped portion (71) is formed by first and second surfaces (81,82). The first surface (81) is part of the surface of the rear flange portion. The second surface (82) is formed radially outward of the first surface. The axial heights of the first and second surfaces are different from each other. The second stepped portion (72) is formed by third and fourth surfaces (83,84) and is also formed radially outward of the first stepped portion (71). The third surface (83) is part of the surface of the rear flange portion. The fourth surface (84) is formed radially outward of the third surface. The axial heights of the third and fourth surfaces are different from each other.
