Abstract
A fishing reel of the multiplier type has a frame, a line spool shaft which is mounted in the frame, and a rotatable line spool which is mounted on the shaft. A clutch member having a gear portion and an engaging portion is mounted on the shaft. The gear portion meshes with a driving gear which is rotatable by a handle. The clutch member is displaceable along the shaft between an engaging position, in which its engaging portion is connected to the line spool for rotation thereof, and a disengaging position, in which the engaging portion is disconnected from the line spool. The clutch member is displaceable back and forth between its engaging position and its disengaging position by a trigger which actuates a clutch mechanism for displacement of the clutch member. The clutch member is also displaceable from the disengaging position to the engaging position by means of the handle which via a returning member, non-rotatably connected thereto, actuates a link arm which is connected to the clutch mechanism and which, when the clutch member is in its disengaging position, is in a position for cooperation with the returning member.
