Abstract
A fishing reel cover is connectable to a fishing reel to define a compartment in which reel components are located. The cover comprises an inner cone element nested and securely fixed within an outer sheath element. A rearward end of the inner cone element includes a first interlocking connection feature such as internal threads adapted to engage a second interlocking connection feature such as external threads located on the fishing reel. The forward ends of the inner cone and outer sheath elements preferably define aligned guide holes through which an eyelet may be inserted. Preferably, the inner cone element will be formed of plastic with the outer sheath element being formed of metal.
