Description

FIG. 1 is a first perspective view of a fishing reel that includes a fishing reel portion in accordance with my new design.

FIG. 2 is a second perspective view of the fishing reel illustrated in FIG. 1 that includes the fishing reel portion.

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the fishing reel illustrated in FIG. 1 that includes the fishing reel portion.

FIG. 4 is a rear elevational view of the fishing reel illustrated in FIG. 1 that includes the fishing reel portion.

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the fishing reel illustrated in FIG. 1 that includes the fishing reel portion.

FIG. 6 is a bottom plan view of the fishing reel illustrated in FIG. 1 that includes the fishing reel portion.

FIG. 7 is a first side elevational view of the fishing reel illustrated in FIG. 1 that includes the fishing reel portion but in which the fishing reel portion is completely hidden from sight.

FIG. 8 is a second side elevational view of the fishing reel illustrated in FIG. 1 that includes the fishing reel portion.

FIG. 9 is an enlarged partial perspective view, similar to FIG. 2, a portion of the fishing reel that includes the fishing reel portion.

FIG. 10 is a side elevational view, similar to FIG. 8, of a fishing reel that includes an alternate fishing reel portion, which is identical to the fishing reel portion illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 9, except that a selected boundary of the alternate fishing reel portion is shown in broken lines; and,

FIG. 11 is an enlarged partial perspective view, similar to FIG. 9, of a portion of the fishing reel that includes the alternate fishing reel portion illustrated in FIG. 10.

In the drawings, the broken line illustration of the environmental structure (the remaining structure of the fishing reel) in the drawings is not part of the claimed design. In other words, the broken line portion of the fishing reel does not form part of the claimed design.

In the alternate fishing reel portion illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, the boundaries in broken lines do not form part of the claimed design. In other words, with respect to the alternate design of the fishing reel portion illustrated in FIGS. 10 and 11, it should be understood that the claimed design extends to the boundary but does not include the boundaries shown in broken lines.

Claims
