A boss is provided inside the reel case main body at its center and to which the coil spring is fixed. Plural positioning projections are provided outside the boss in a direction of rotation at a predetermined intervals, the positioning projections each having a height graduated with respect to one another. A rotatable spacer member is interposed between the positioning projections and the coil spring. A predetermined pressing force of the spring is maintained to enable a smooth trimming operation even when an engine output and reduction ratio differ from one apparatus to another.
