Abstract
A drag lever is configured to adjust a braking force of a drag mechanism configured to brake rotation of a spool, the drag lever including a mounting portion rotatably mounted on a reel body, an operation portion extending from the mounting portion in a radial direction of a pivot shaft and configured to swing in a first operation range, and an operation range adjustment member provided to the operation portion and configured to adjust the first operation range of the operation portion to a second operation range. This arrangement may suppress entanglement of a fishing line during fishing and adjusts the operation range of the drag lever.
