A length counting device is provided for a fishing reel which includes a fishing rod, a spool having a first rotary disk and a second rotary disk, and a fishing line wound around the spool. The counting device includes a supporting bracket mounted on the fishing rod and having a pivot ear. A teaching counting roller is rotatably mounted on the pivot ear and includes an outer periphery defining an annular guiding groove through which the fishing line is reeved. A first magnet is mounted on the outer periphery of the teaching counting roller to rotate therewith. A first magnetic sensor is mounted on the supporting bracket, wherein the first magnet can be rotated by the teaching counting roller to align with the first magnetic sensor. A counter is mounted on the fishing reel and includes a sensing circuit having a second magnetic sensor and a third magnetic sensor each located adjacent to the first rotary disk of the spool. A second magnet is fixedly mounted on the first rotary disk of the spool to rotate therewith to alternatively align with the first magnetic sensor and the second magnetic sensor.
