ABSTRACT:
A fishing reel has a clutch and a selector mechanism for selectively providing a toggle mode where at least the clutch is maintained at the disengaged state with operation of a control member from a first position to a second position and a momentary mode where with release of the operation of the control member the control member is returned to the first position for returning the clutch to the engaged state. The clutch is a swivel operation type mechanism engaged with swivel operation of a swivel member into an engaging range and disengaged with further swivel operation of the swivel member into a disengaging range. A dead point is provided within the disengaging range for rendering the swivel member or a control unit therefor inoperative so as to allow a toggle member to provide urging force to maintain at least the clutch at the engaged state. The selector mechanism includes a limiting member switchable between a position for preventing the swivel member from reaching the dead point of the toggle member when the swivel member is operated by the control member from the engaging range to the disengaging range and a further position for allowing the swivel member to swivel beyond the dead point.
