Abstract

A balancer is integrally and projectingly formed on a boss of a handle arm. The handle arm has a support shaft opposite from the balancer, a knob is rotatably supported on the support shaft. A portion of the handle arm around and in the vicinity of the boss is formed into a smooth surface, and an outer periphery of the balancer is also formed into a smooth surface. Thus, a fishline is prevented from tangling onto the balancer.
