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.
