The reel frame is provided on an inner periphery of the opening with a first engaging protrusion having a predetermined number of cutouts, a second engaging protrusion, and an engaging groove formed between the first and second protrusions and extended along the entire length of the inner periphery of the opening. A locking member is provided adjacent to the opening of the reel frame, for contacting a portion of the spool supporting cover to prevent the cover from rotating. The spool supporting cover includes a circular engaging edge engaged with the reel frame, and inserted into the cutout of the first engaging protrusion to guide the cover along the engaging groove.
