  • Publication number: 20240081308
    Abstract: A dual-bearing reel comprises a spool rotatably supported between a left side plate and a right side plate of a reel main body, a handle provided on one of the left and right side plates to rotationally drive the spool, and an adjustment dial provided on a side plate on the opposite side of the handle. The side plate on the opposite side of the handle rotatably supports the adjustment dial on substantially the same axis as a rotation axis of the spool, and comprises an opening that exposes an arc region above the supported adjustment dial, and a cover portion is formed on an upper surface side of the side plate on the opposite side of the handle, the cover portion covering an outer peripheral surface on a front side of the adjustment dial and exposing an outer peripheral surface on a rear side thereof.

  • Patent number: 9807990
    Abstract: One object is to provide a double bearing reel that allows a fingertip gripping the reel body to be retained well in reeling out and in a fishing line thereby to provide better grip retention of the reel body. A double bearing reel according to the present invention includes a reel body having left and right side plates. A concave finger retainer is provided in an edge of at least one of outer circumferential surfaces of the left and right side plates to retain a thick of a fingertip of a hand gripping and holding the reel body.
