Abstract:
1. A fishing reel comprising: a frame having a right plate and a left plate; a spool rotatably mounted between the left plate and the right plate of the frame and around which fishing line is wound; a main shaft passing through the spool; a level wind mechanism which moves across the spool during winding of fishing line in order to uniformly wind the fishing line over the whole width of the spool; a right side cover fixed to an outside of the right plate; a handle which operatively extends from the right side cover in order to rotate the spool; a reel foot which is formed on a bottom of the frame so as to attach the fishing reel to a fishing rod; a left side cover fixed onto the left plate; a brake dial provided at a center of the left side cover and having coupling pieces on an inner surface thereof; an externally controllable brake system provided between the brake dial and a spool cover so as to be actuated in response to the rotation of the brake dial; and an inner ring provided on an inner surface of the spool cover such that it comes into close contact with the spool in response to the operation of the externally controllable brake system so as to stop a rotary force of the spool, said brake system including a rotary section coupled with the coupling pieces of the brake dial such that the rotary section rotates as the brake dial rotates, and a brake housing which is brought into close contact with the rotary section and passes through the spool cover so as to laterally slide in response to the rotation of the rotary section, thereby guiding the inner ring.
