Abstract:
A clutch control mechanism configured to allow or block a transmission of a rotation of a handle to a spool in response to either a rotating of the handle or an operating of a clutch operating member. The clutch control mechanism includes a clutch cam, a clutch plate, and a positioning structure. The clutch cam is rotatably mounted to the reel unit, and is rotatable between a first position and a second position. The first position blocks the transmission of the rotation of the handle. The second position allows the transmission of the rotation of the handle. The clutch plate is coupled to the clutch operating member and to the clutch cam, and is unitarily rotatable with the clutch cam. The positioning structure to position the clutch cam from outside in a radial direction about a rotational axis of the clutch cam when the clutch cam is disposed in the first position.
