These portions are indicators for the amount of fishing line wound around spool. The first stepped portion is formed by first and second surfaces. The first surface is part of the surface of the rear flange portion. The second surface is formed radially outward of the first surface. The axial heights of the first and second surfaces are different from each other. The second stepped portion is formed by third and fourth surfaces and is also formed radially outward of the first stepped portion.
