Abstract:
1. An electrically-powered fishing reel comprising: a drive motor that drives a rotation of a spool rotatably supported by a reel body; a mechanical speed change unit that is fitted in a drive system of the spool and switches transmission power from the drive motor to the spool between a high speed state and a low speed state; an electrical speed change unit that controls an amount of current to be supplied to the drive motor and performs adjustment to increase or decrease an output of the drive motor; and a motor output adjustment member that is fitted on the reel body and is displaceable by a predetermined displacement operation range, wherein the motor output adjustment member controls the electrical speed change unit to perform the adjustment by a displacement operation of the motor output adjustment member, and wherein the motor output adjustment member controls the mechanical speed change unit to switch the transmission power between the high speed state and the low speed state by the displacement operation within the predetermined displacement operation range.
