Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing reel provided with a concealment cover for concealing the side surface of a level wind. Specifically, both side openings of the level wind mounting portion are covered with separate concealment covers to protect the level wind, and the color and the like of the concealment cover can be changed and decorated according to the preference of the user.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, fishing reels, particularly baitcasting reels, only differ in braking methods such as braking methods based on the braking system of the spool. Generally, they mainly include a frame to which a spool is attached, a palm side side cover coupled to one side surface of the frame, a gear side side cover coupled to the other side surface of the frame, and a handle provided on the gear side side cover.

[0003] Such a fishing reel is provided with a guide through which the fishing line passes at the front end of the frame to guide the fishing line wound around the spool to the top part of the fishing rod. The guide is provided in a level wind for winding the fishing line uniformly around the entire spool.

[0004] The level wind is axially provided in the horizontal direction at the front end of the frame and is coupled to a worm shaft provided with a bidirectional rail portion on the outer peripheral surface. When the fishing line of the spool is paid out or wound up, the spool shaft and the worm shaft rotate in conjunction with each other, and the level wind reciprocates left and right in the longitudinal direction of the worm shaft along the bidirectional rail portion to assist in winding and paying out the fishing line.

[0005] Such a fishing reel is protected from external impacts by coupling a front cover that forms the front appearance of the fishing reel to protect the rear level wind.

[0006] As confirmed from Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-2083429 etc., the front cover is detachably coupled to the frame, facilitating the maintenance of the fishing reel.

[0007] On the other hand, for the frame of the fishing reel to facilitate the gripping of the fishing reel and protect the fingers, a top cover is formed on the upper side of the frame. The top cover is formed in a "C" shape with an open rear surface to cover the front level wind while opening the upper part of the spool.

[0008] However, due to the structure of such a top cover, there is a drawback that the level wind is directly exposed because an opening is formed between the front end portions of the both-side mounting portions of the frame and the top cover thereon.
