Abstract: A dual bearing reel includes a basic unit and a cover portion. The basic unit includes a spool, a spool driving mechanism, and a reel body. The reel body includes a main frame having first and second side plates that are spaced apart from each other, and connectors linking the first and second side plates, and third and fourth side plates each detachably mounted to the main frame. The spool and spool driving mechanism are installed in the main frame so as to function in cooperation with each other. The cover portion includes first and second cover members each detachably mounted to the reel body so as to cover the exteriors of the third and fourth side plates. More flexible ornamental design of dual bearing reel is possible while securing its indispensable functions. Also, a common part, which can be used in dual bearing reels of other models, is established.

Abstract: The reel unit of a dual-bearing reel includes a frame, first and second side covers, an operating lever, and guard members. The frame has first and second side plates and a connection member. The first side cover, to which the handle is mounted, is mounted to the first side plate. The second side cover is mounted to the second side plate in an inclined manner such that a fore end of the second side cover is closer to the second side plate. The operating lever is provided on the second side plate protruding inward from the second side plate. The second side cover is locked in a closed state when the operation portion assumes a second position, while the operation portion allows the second side cover to be opened and closed relative to the second side plate when the operation portion assumes a first position.
