Abstract
A motor output regulator for increasing and decreasing the output of a spool drive motor in multiple continuous stages is rotatably provided, in a motor-operated fishing reel equipped with a spool drive motor, on the same side of the reel body where a manual handle for manually driving the spool to rotate is installed. The direction in which the output of the motor is increased by the motor output regulator is set equal to the direction in which the fishline is wound up onto the spool by the manual handle. The motor-operated fishing reel is excellent in operability in that while both sides of the reel body is gripped, the output of the motor can be made variable to adjust its speed. It is also possible to simultaneously perform both winding-up operation by the manual handle and speed change operation by the motor output regulator with a single hand.
