Reel unit for dual-bearing reel

Abstract

The reel unit for a dual-bearing reel is a reel unit for a dual-bearing reel in which a fishing line is wound onto a rotating spool, and comprises a frame, first and second covers, a front cover, and a fishhook stopping component. The frame has a pair of side plates disposed to the left and right of the spool, and a plurality of linking components that link the side plates. The first and second covers are mounted so as to cover the sides of the side plates. The front cover is mounted so as to cover the front of the frame, and in it is formed an opening that is longer horizontally and that faces the fishing line guide of a level winding mechanism. The fishhook stopping component is a rod-shaped member positioned along the opening and to the outside of and at a distance from the front cover.
