Abstract
A fishing reel having a frame including a housing defining a receptacle for an operating mechanism and having a front and rear and opposite side walls, a rotor mounted to the reel frame for rotation about a fore and aft axis, a line carrying spool, a bail assembly mounted to the rotor for movement selectively between a cast position and a retrieve position, and structure for moving the line carrying spool in a reciprocating path in a fore and aft direction to cause the bail assembly to evenly direct line onto the line carrying spool as the rotor is operated with the bail assembly in its retrieve position. The frame housing has first and second housing parts. One of the first and second housing parts defines a rear wall to support a portion of the spool moving structure. The other of the first and second parts has a first section defining at least a portion of one of the side walls. There is a second section formed integrally with the first section to cover at least a part of the rear wall.
