Abstract

A handle is rotatably attached to a first reel body. A second reel body has a cylindrical shape, and is an interval apart from the first reel body in an axial direction. A spool is disposed between the first reel body and the second reel body. A mount includes a mount surface facing in a first direction to contact the fishing rod when the dual-bearing reel is mounted to the fishing rod. The second reel body includes an outer peripheral surface and an outer lateral surface. The outer lateral surface faces outward in the axial direction, and the outer peripheral surface of the second reel body has a width narrower towards a first directional end of the second reel body than towards a second directional end of the second reel body. The second directional end is opposite to the first direction end.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dual-bearing reel mountable to a fishing rod, the dual-bearing reel comprising:
a first reel body;
a handle rotatably attached to the first reel body;
a second reel body having a cylindrical shape, the second reel body being an interval apart from the first reel body in an axial direction;
a spool disposed between the first reel body and the second reel body; and
a mount including a mount surface, the mount surface facing a first direction to contact the fishing rod when the dual-bearing reel is mounted to the fishing rod,
the second reel body including an outer peripheral surface and an outer lateral surface, the outer lateral surface facing outward in the axial direction,
the outer peripheral surface of the second reel body having a width narrower towards a first directional end of the second reel body in the first direction than towards a second directional end of the second reel body, the second directional end being opposite to the first directional end.

2. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein the second reel body includes a recess, the recess being on the first directional end of the second reel body between the outer peripheral surface and the outer lateral surface.

3. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 2 , wherein the recess is a chamfer abutting the outer peripheral surface and the outer lateral surface.

4. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 3 , wherein
the chamfer extends throughout a circumference of the second reel body, and
the chamfer has a width wider towards the first directional end of the second reel body than towards the second directional end of the second reel body.

5. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 3 , wherein a width of the chamfer gradually widens in the first direction.

6. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 3 , wherein
the dual-bearing reel forwardly releases a fishing line, and
a width of the chamfer is narrower towards a front part of the second reel body than towards a rear part of the second reel body.

7. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein the outer lateral surface has an outer peripheral edge extending in a perpendicular direction to the axial direction.

8. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 1 , wherein the outer lateral surface has an outer peripheral edge tilting relative to the axial direction.

9. A dual-bearing reel mountable to a fishing rod, the dual-bearing reel comprising:
a first reel body;
a mount including a mount surface, the mount surface facing a first direction to contact the fishing rod when the dual-bearing reel is mounted to the fishing rod; and
a second reel body having a cylindrical shape, the second reel body being an interval apart from the first reel body in an axial direction, the second reel body including an outer peripheral surface and an outer lateral surface, the outer lateral surface facing outward in the axial direction, the outer peripheral surface having a width narrower towards a first directional end of the second reel body in the first direction than towards a second directional end of the second reel body, the second directional end being opposite to the first directional end.

10. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 9 , wherein the second reel body includes a recess, the recess being on the first directional end of the second reel body between the outer peripheral surface and the outer lateral surface.

11. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 10 , wherein the recess is a chamfer abutting the outer peripheral surface and the outer lateral surface.

12. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 11 , wherein
the chamfer extends throughout a circumference of the second reel body, and
the chamfer has a width wider towards the first directional end of the second reel body than towards the second directional end of the second reel body.

13. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 11 , wherein a width of the chamfer gradually widens towards the first directional end.

14. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 11 , wherein a width of the chamfer is narrower towards a front part of the second reel body than towards a rear part of the second reel body.

15. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 9 , wherein the outer lateral surface has an outer peripheral edge extending in a perpendicular direction to the axial direction.

16. The dual-bearing reel according to claim 9 , wherein the outer lateral surface has an outer peripheral edge tilting relative to the axial direction.
