Thus, also in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, as in each of the above-mentioned embodiments, even if a tension is applied to the fishing line and a torque is generated in the spool gears 147, 153, the idle gear 91, etc. It is possible to easily release the meshing state of the switching gear 67 with respect to the gears 91, 147, 153.

Therefore, as compared with the conventional example shown in FIG. 15, the switching operation of the clutch mechanism from the winding state to the spool free state can be performed easily and surely, and various situations at the fishing ground can be dealt with quickly and easily.

In the yarn length measuring device for feeding the fishing line and measuring the length of the winding line, a rotary member (spool interlocking gear or pressure roller for contacting the fishing line winding surface) that rotates with the feeding of the fishing line is used instead of the encoder 99. It is of course possible to use a conventional yarn length measuring device for detecting the rotation of
It is also possible to input automatic operation conditions such as shelving, scraping conditions, and timer winding of the spool into the control device, and automatically drive the clutch actuation motor 71 to switch the clutch mechanism between ON and OFF.

Furthermore, for example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the clutch actuating motor 71 is used as an electric actuator for moving the actuating plate 63, but it goes without saying that a solenoid or the like may be used.

[0067]

As described above, according to the fishing reel according to each of the claims, even when the fishing line is under tension, the winding state is changed from the winding state to the spool-free state as compared with the conventional case. The clutch mechanism switching operation can be performed easily and reliably, and various situations at the fishing ground can be quickly and easily dealt with.
