The invention aims to provide a fishing reel for fishing purpose, which allows accurate control of the state when a fishing line is sent out. To achieve the aim, when rotation of a winding roll (10) in the fishing-line sending direction (when the fishing line is sent out) is detected, a value expressed with a speed unit is displayed in a timer speed display part (62c) of a display part (62). The value is obtained by calculating the fishing-line sending speed (the rotating speed of the winding roll (10)).
