Abstract: A protective cover for a fishing reel attached to a fishing rod. The protective cover comprises an enclosure having an interior chamber with a middle region and a predetermined circumference. The enclosure also includes first and second opposing ends with first and second panels and first and second apertures, respectively, through which the interior chamber may be accessed. The first aperture has a circumference that is smaller than, and offset relative to the internal circumference of the interior chamber, and the second aperture is variable in circumference from a first circumference that is larger than the internal circumference of said interior chamber to a second circumference that is smaller than the internal circumference of said interior chamber. The first, larger circumference of the second aperture facilitates insertion of a rod and reel into the interior chamber. Upon insertion, portions of the fishing rod protrude through the first and second apertures.
