A frame has a first side plate, a second side plate, a level winding guard, and a mounting portion. The first side plate, the second side plate, the level winding guard, and the mounting portion are formed of a single member. The first side plate has a thick portion and a through hole. The thick portion is formed in front of a spool on an inside surface of the first side plate. The through hole penetrates the thick portion in an axial direction. In addition, the through hole has an inner diameter larger than an outer diameter of the guide member.

Provided is a fishing reel having a downward-rotation locking type side cover in which the portion where a frame and a side cover are in contact with each other is curved; a protruding portion and a recessed portion that are smoothly connected to each other are formed respectively at a first edge of the frame and a second edge of a palm-side first side cover to prevent injuries in use due to the a pointed end of the frame; the internal angle of a first corner connecting the upper inclined surface and the outer side of the protruding portion is an obtuse angle; and the first side cover can be locked by rotating downward the front end of the first side cover after the first side cover is coupled to a mount with the protruding portion under the recessed portion.

A fishing reel has a frame and a lock ring that engages locking structures on the frame. A cover assembly defines cover locking structures for locking engagement with outside lock ring locking structures on the lock ring. A brake spool cover is secured to an inside surface of the cover assembly. A brake ring support is adjacent to the inner side of the brake spool cover. The brake ring support is axially positionable with respect to the brake spool cover and defines a plurality of guide holes that receive prongs defined by a slide spring retainer.

A fishing reel which includes a covering or enclosure that can also be functionally used as a toy car when detached from the fishing rod. The fishing reel functions as traditional spincast fishing reel when attached to the fishing rod. The reel enclosure is formed in the shape of a toy vehicle and is detachable from the fishing rod. Once removed, the reel enclosure can be reassembled and used as a toy vehicle independent of the rod.

According to an aspect, another ice fishing stand is disclosed and includes a base, a tip up arm, and a rod holder arm. The base is configured to be positioned about an ice-fishing hole, and has a receiving feature. The tip up arm is configured to hold a spool. The rod holder arm includes a rod holder that is configured to hold a fishing rod. The rod holder arm is releasably mountable to the receiving feature.

One object is to provide a double bearing reel capable of visually and accurately determining a releasable state of an opening/closing mechanism for releasing a frame by cover plates, the opening/closing mechanism being prevented from causing tangling of a fishing line. The double bearing reel has an opening/closing mechanism for enabling a cover plate on an opposite side to a handle to be opened/closed with respect to a frame. Said opening/closing mechanism includes an operation member for switching between a releasable state where the frame is releasable by the cover plate and a closed locked state where the frame is closed by the cover plate and an indication portion for indicating the releasable state. In tandem with a switching operation, the indication portion is exposed outside of a side plate in the releasable state and retracted inside of the side plate in the closed locked state.

The present invention is a cover attachment mechanism for a spincast reel. The reel includes a main body, a cover, and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism further includes cams and the cover further includes cam receiving features. The cams of the locking mechanism can be selectively positioned to secure the cover to the main body or to release the cover from the main body without requiring rotation of the cover.

Disclosed is an apparatus for attaching and detaching a cover of a bait casting reel piezoelectric drive circuit. The apparatus includes a reel main body which is formed with an opening portion on one side, and inside which a spool is rotatably installed; a reel cover which supports the rotation of the spool, and opens and closes the opening portion by horizontally moving from one side of the reel main body so that the spool is separated from the reel main body; and a holder which connects the reel main body with the reel cover, projects from the reel main body to guide an opening and closing path of the reel cover when the opening portion is opened, and is coupled with the reel cover by a magnetic body internally provided to fix a separation position of the reel cover.
