Abstract
A baitcasting reel includes a clutch mechanism interposed between a spool and a handle, a clutch restoring device, and a checking device. The clutch restoring device is operable, when the handle is turned in a direction to wind up a fishing line with the clutch mechanism disengaged, for restoring the clutch mechanism to an engaged position. The checking device is switchable to prevent the clutch mechanism from being restored to the engaged position.
