ABSTRACT:
A clutch control structure for a fishing reel includes a clutch controller for operating a clutch mechanism mounted in a rotational drive system for transmitting an operating force of a line winding handle as a rotating force to a spool, an interlock mechanism connecting the clutch controller to the clutch mechanism, and a clutch return mechanism for forcibly returning the clutch mechanism from a disengaged state to an engaged state in response to an operation of the handle. The clutch return mechanism includes a ratchet wheel mounted upstream of the clutch mechanism with respect to a direction of drive transmission through the rotational drive system, and a return member operatively connected to the interlock mechanism to be movable, when the clutch mechanism is disengaged, to an operative position to receive a returning force from the ratchet wheel, and retractable to an inoperative position under the returning force imparted from the ratchet wheel in response to a line winding operation of the handle, to engage the clutch mechanism. The clutch interlock mechanism includes an elastic flexion mechanism provided between the return member and clutch controller for absorbing a returning force exceeding a predetermined value imparted from the ratchet wheel.
