ABSTRACT:
A bait casting reel enables a user to easily control rotation of the spool. The bait casting reel includes a frame, a spool rotatably supported by the frame, a lever externally disposed and movable by a user to a left-handed position and a right-handed position, and a click member coupled to and movable by the lever, the click member allowing rotation of the spool in a first direction and preventing rotation in a second direction when the lever is moved to the left-handed position. The click member allows rotation of the spool in the second direction and prevents rotation in the first direction when the lever is moved to the right-handed position. A click holder is provided inside of the cover of the bait casting reel. The click holder comprises a head contactably coupled with the gears of the spool, a tail contacting with bosses formed inside of the cover, and a click having a shoulder abutted on protrusions provided inside of the cover. The spool is rotatable in clockwise and/or counter-clockwise directions through simple manipulation of a stopper lever.
