It will be.

Then, the angler checks the display 87,
When it is desired to wind the fishing line 9 slowly, for example, the adjustment lever 83 is operated so that the scale of the bar display amount of the indicator 87 becomes "20". If the output of the motor 17 is controlled while operating the adjusting lever 83 in accordance with the winding state, for example, by operating the adjusting lever 83 so that the scale of “80” becomes “80”, the fishing line 9 will have the optimum motor speed for winding. Will be rolled up. When the winding is stopped, the adjustment lever 83 is adjusted so that the scale of the bar display amount becomes “0”.
Should be returned.

If fishing is to be continued further, the clutch can be turned off by pushing the motor drive switch 59 again, the fishing line 9 can be paid out, and the same procedure can be repeated.

If the manual handle 23 is rotated in the winding direction (the direction of arrow F in FIG. 2) without using the adjusting lever 83, the rotation of the manual handle 23 is performed via the drive gear 29 as in the conventional case. The fishing line 9 is transmitted to the spool 7 and wound on the spool 7. Furthermore, manual hand
