Provided is a fishing reel equipped with a lock lever having a function to cover a protrusion of a frame. Specifically, by forming a protrusion at a lower portion of a front end of the frame, in particular, by forming a protrusion on which a worm shaft of level wind is installed, the appearance of the frame is maintained sharply to improve grip. In addition, the fishing reel enables convenient use of the lock lever while enhancing design aesthetics by covering the protrusion with the lock lever for detachably attaching a side cover. The fishing reel includes a frame having a spool mount and a palm sidewall, a palm-side cover detachably attached to the palm sidewall, and a lock lever interposed between the palm sidewall and the palm side cover and configured to lock or unlock the palm side cover.

Provided is a bait casting reel including braking magnets that provide braking force against rotation of a spool using magnetic force to prevent backlash of the spool in casting. The bait casting reel allows a user to minimally space a spool and an anti-backlash unit to set the maximum braking force of a braking magnet by bringing the spool and the anti-backlasher in contact with each other when a braking dial for moving the anti-backlasher left and right in the longitudinal direction of the spool is turned to the maximum, in order to prevent the braking magnet from being worn or damaged by coming in contact with the spool due to deformation of the rotary shaft of the spool or a friction washer and to allow the user to freely and easily adjust the braking force of the braking magnet without replacing a part.

According to the present disclosure, in a fishing reel that comprises component members of various types arranged in a reel body, winds up a fishing line around a spool, and releases the fishing line that has been wound up around the spool, the component members are arranged in a contact state or a proximity state, the component members comprising different types of materials that are different in a raw material, and a corrosion member is attachably/detachably arranged on the component members in a conductive state, the corrosion member having a potential difference that is greater than the potential difference between the component members comprising the different types of materials.

The waterproof structure includes a reel body, a spool, a first abutting member, and a second abutting member. The first abutting member includes a first body portion and at least one first annular protrusion. The first body portion abuts with the reel body. The first annular protrusion protrudes from the first body portion. The second abutting member includes a second body portion and at least one second annular protrusion. The second body portion abuts with the spool and is adjacently disposed at a predetermined first waterproof gap from the first annular protrusion. The second annular protrusion protrudes from the second body portion and is adjacently disposed at a predetermined second gap from the first body portion. The first annular protrusion and the second annular protrusion are adjacently disposed with a predetermined second waterproof gap therebetween.

One object is to provide a fishing reel in which under a high load, a smooth rotation performance of the handle shaft and the pinion gear shaft can be maintained and the accuracy of the position to support the handle shaft and the pinion gear shaft can be ensured. The fishing reel of the present invention includes: a handle shaft rotatably provided on a frame; a drive gear provided on the handle shaft a spool configured to be rotationally driven via a pinion gear meshing with the drive gear; a side plate fixed on the frame; and a support unit separate from the side plate, wherein the support unit includes a handle shaft support that supports a handle shaft, and a pinion gear shaft support that supports a pinion gear shaft of the pinion gear, and the support unit is removably fixed on the frame.

One object is to provide an electric fishing reel wherein it is possible to prevent fingers of a user from contacting with an electric motor and improve heat releasing performance of the electric motor. In accordance with one aspect, an electric fishing reel of the present invention includes: a reel body; a spool provided on the reel body and configured to have a fishing line wound thereon; an electric motor provided in a front portion of the reel body and configured to rotationally drive the spool; and a cover member mounted on the reel body so as to surround the electric motor, wherein the cover member includes a front portion in front of the electric motor and a side portion on a side of the electric motor, and at least one of the front portion and the side portion of the cover member has an opening formed therein.

A handle is rotatably attached to a first reel body. A second reel body has a cylindrical shape, and is an interval apart from the first reel body in an axial direction. A spool is disposed between the first reel body and the second reel body. A mount includes a mount surface facing in a first direction to contact the fishing rod when the dual-bearing reel is mounted to the fishing rod. The second reel body includes an outer peripheral surface and an outer lateral surface. The outer lateral surface faces outward in the axial direction, and the outer peripheral surface of the second reel body has a width narrower towards a first directional end of the second reel body than towards a second directional end of the second reel body. The second directional end is opposite to the first direction end.

Provided is a fishing reel equipped with a replaceable hood top. The fishing reel includes: a frame having a mount; two side covers coupled to both sides of the frame; a spool disposed inside the mount of the frame and coupled to the side covers through a shaft; a reel foot coupled to a bottom of the frame to be mounted on a fishing rod; a hood coupled to a top of the frame; a handle coupled to a side of the frame through a shaft to rotate the spool; and a tension nut disposed on a side of the frame to adjust a casting distance by controlling a rotational speed of a spool shaft. The hood has coupling portions, and a replaceable hood top is coupled to the coupling portions.

A fishing reel can include a cage assembly defining an opening to removably receive a spool and a spool positioned in the cage assembly operable to rotate about an axis of rotation. The reel can also include a crank coupled to the cage assembly and operable to rotate the spool when the crank is rotated. The reel can also include a braking assembly removably positioned on a side of the cage assembly opposite to the crank, the braking assembly including at least one magnet, the magnet having an arcuate shape that spans a braking arc length concentric with the axis of rotation, the braking arc length defined by an arc measure of at least about 90°.

A dual-bearing reel configured to feed a fishing line forward is disclosed. The dual-bearing reel includes a reel body and a handle. The reel body has a first side plate, a second side plate, and a connecting portion. The first side plate includes a circular portion having a circular shape, and a bulging portion bulging forward and downward from the circular portion. The second side plate is circular and disposed apart from the first side plate. The connecting portion connects the first side plate and the second side plate. The handle is rotatably mounted on the first side plate. A first central axis of the circular portion of the first side plate is offset forward and downward from a second central axis of the second side plate.
