ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel capable of generating click sound with rotational operation of an adjustment member for applying resistance to a spool shaft in adjustment of casting or drag resistance. The reel includes a click spring retained within a spring receiver barrel and engageable with teeth formed in an inner peripheral face of the adjustment member for maintaining a rotational position of the adjustment member. The click spring has an approximately inverse letter `V` shaped configuration including a top portion engageable with the teeth and a pair of leg portions extending respectively in opposite, outward directions from the top portion. The spring receiver barrel is attached to a reel body or to a handle shaft to be unrotatable relative thereto and has one axial open end to retain the spring therein. An anti-slipoff element is provided in the open end for preventing the click spring from slipping off the spring retainer opening. The click spring can be formed compact and economical and the spring receiver barrel is easy to mold.
