Abstract:
1. A fishing reel having reliability in opening a side cover, comprising: a reel body comprising a first shaft support part disposed at a first side, an opening formed at a second side, a first coupling part provided around the opening, a second coupling part provided around the opening, and a fishing line unwinding part disposed at a front side; a cover assembly fixed to the first coupling part of the reel body, the cover assembly comprising a spool cover provided with a second shaft support part, and a side cover coupled to the spool cover, the side cover covering the opening of the reel body; a spool installed in the reel body and provided with a shaft coupled at opposite ends thereof to the first and second shaft support parts, a fishing line being wound around the spool; a locking means to keep the side cover in a closed position covering the opening; and a pillar coupled to the second coupling part of the reel body to connect the reel body to the cover assembly, the pillar making it possible for the cover assembly to be extracted and then rotated in such a way that when a locked state of the locking means is released, the cover assembly is laterally moved towards the second side of the opening of the reel body and then rotated to be opened before being separated from the first coupling part of the reel body, wherein the pillar includes a plurality of pillar bodies coupled to each other in such a way that the pillar bodies are expanded and contracted in a telescopic manner, and the side cover of the cover assembly includes a guide member, so when the cover assembly is opened, the pillar performs a secondary lateral movement by a telescopic structure thereof after a primary lateral movement of the pillar is conducted.
