A fishing reel includes a housing rotatably mounting a spool. A clutch is mounted on the housing for generally linear movement to effect free rotation of the spool. An actuator member is mounted on the housing for manual engagement and for linear movement oblique to the linear movement of the clutch. A bell crank is connected by lost motion means between the clutch and the actuator for linearly moving the clutch in response to linear movement of the actuator.
