The reel operating mechanism includes a line carrying spool, first structure for directing line onto the line carrying spool, and a settable drag mechanism for allowing line to be drawn off of the spool with a variable predetermined force applied to fishing line on the line carrying spool. The drag mechanism includes a first member, with there being second structure cooperating between the first member and frame for guiding the first member in rotation relative to the frame around a first axis as an incident of which the predetermined force at which line is allowed to be drawn off of the spool is changed. The fishing reel further includes a clicker element, with there being third structure cooperating between the clicker element and one of the frame and operating mechanism for maintaining the clicker element in an operative position on the fishing reel. Fourth structure on the other of the frame and operating mechanism cooperates with the clicker element for giving a sensory indication to the user as an incident of the first member rotating about the first axis. The clicker element has a body that includes first and second legs, with the third structure engaging each of the first and second legs at spaced locations with the one of the frame and operating mechanism.
