Abstract
A two-bearing reel capable of selectively providing a toggle mode and a momentary mode. The reel has a first toggle spring for operating a clutch mechanism to an end of either an engaging stroke or a disengaging stroke, the first toggle spring having a dead point between the first position and the second position, and a second toggle spring for providing an urging force to the clutch mechanism or to a control unit of the clutch mechanism, the urging force being weaker than that of the first toggle spring. The second toggle spring has a dead point beyond the second position towards the disengaging stroke of the clutch mechanism. The selector mechanism effects the mode selection by switching over the urging force of the first toggle spring between an effective state and an ineffective state.
