Herein disclosed is a fishing reel comprising a spool rotatably mounted on a reel frame, a non-magnetic conductor in a cover member of the reel frame and fixed to the spool, and a brake mechanism for producing an eddy current in the non-magnetic conductor to dampen the rotation of the spool. An adjuster is movably provided in the cover member for adjusting a dampening force of the spool when a fishing line is paid out from the spool. A dampening force adjusting dial for actuating the adjuster is mounted a rear upper portion of the cover member so that the operator's thumb is readily accessible to the adjusting dial. The fishing reel may comprise an indicating device for indicating the dampening force applied to the spool.
