A baitcasting reel comprising:

• a spool supported on a spool shaft;
• a reel body including a first side body and a second side body opposed to each other across said spool and supporting said spool shaft, said first side body including a first frame disposed on the side of said first side body adjacent said spool and a first case disposed on the opposite side of said first side body, said second side body including a second frame disposed on the side of said second side body adjacent said spool and a second case disposed on the opposite side of said second body;
• an opening in said reel body;
• a shaft member extending parallel to said spool shaft, said first case being mounted on an end of said shaft member to be movable about and along an axis of said shaft member;
• control means supported on said first case, said control means being movable relative to said first case;
• a bearing provided on said first case for supporting an end of said spool shaft;
• attaching means for connecting said first frame with said control means thereby connecting said first case to said first frame;
• wherein said control means is operable to enable said first frame and said first case to be disconnected from each other enabling said first case to be moved along the axis of said shaft member away from said spool and then about the axis of said shaft member, whereby said first case is displaced from said first frame to expose said opening in said reel body;
• and
• said reel further comprising:
• connecting means accessible through said opening to interconnect said second frame and said second case.
