Fishing reel having lock lever for opening and closing palm-side first side cover

摘要

A fishing reel having a lock lever for opening and closing a palm-side first side cover on a side of a frame opposite to a handle. The first side cover is easily and quickly opened with one hand without risk of losing the cover, and the lock lever is automatically locked because the lock lever is recovered automatically by an elastic body. The fishing reel includes: a stop bar projecting from a palm-side mount of a frame; and a lock lever which includes a body shafted to an inner-side surface of the first side cover to be rotatable, a locking projection connected to the body to be turned together with the body when the body is rotated and blocked by the stop bar when the first side cover is closed, and an opening portion projecting from the body to be exposed outside the first side cover and rotating the body.
