ABSTRACT:
A bait-casting reel has a drive mechanism for driving a spool shaft carrying a spool and a clutch mechanism for transmitting a drive force from the drive mechanism to the spool. The reel also has a shifter displaceable between a first position for engaging the clutch and a second position for disengaging the clutch, a control lever for selecting one of the two positions and an urging spring unit associated with the shifter. The control lever is displaceable between a first control position corresponding to the first position and a second control position corresponding to the second position. The urging spring unit includes first and second springs and an urging-force switchover member. With operation of the switchover member, either a toggle mode or a momentary mode is selected. In the toggle mode, when the control member is at the first control position, the first spring urges the shifter to the first position. Also, when the control member is placed at the second control position, the first spring urges the shifter to the second position while the second spring remains substantially inoperative on the shifter. Also, when the control in the momentary mode, the second spring urges the shifter to the first position, while the first spring remains substantially inoperative on the shifter.
