Abstract
A fishing reel comprises a rigid housing, made from the assembly of several parts, and covered with a waterproof flexible casing, except for the openings for access for mechanical parts and the foot. A cover pinches the casing around the front opening for access for the main reel shaft. The foot pinches the casing around a fastening tenon for the foot. Some plugs ensure waterproofing by pinching the casing around the openings for access for the crank shaft. Therefore, the housing provides effective waterproofing by protecting the gear mechanism in the cavity of the housing.
