Patent attributes
A spinning-reel reel unit has a housing unit, a first lid, a second lid, a rod-attachment portion, and a cover member. The housing unit has a housing space formed therein for accommodating and supporting a drive mechanism. The first lid is fixedly coupled to a side of the housing unit detachably/reattachably, and includes a first cover portion and a first cut-out. The second lid is fixedly coupled to another side of the housing unit detachably/reattachably, and includes a second cover portion and a second cut-out. The rod-attachment portion is formed integrally with the housing unit and is adapted to be mounted onto a fishing rod. The cover member covers both of the cut-outs of when the lids are fitted to the housing unit. In the spinning-reel reel unit, weight reduction can be achieved even when a cover member is provided.
