Abstract:
1. A dual-bearing reel clutch control device controlling a clutch mechanism to couple and decouple a handle attached to a reel unit and a spool configured to be rotated by the handle in conjunction with an operation of a clutch operating member, the clutch operating member being movable between a first position and a second position, the dual-bearing reel clutch control device comprising: a tubular clutch cam attached to the reel unit to be rotated about a center axis of the spool, the tubular clutch cam configured to be rotated between a coupled position and a decoupled position in conjunction with movement of the clutch operating member between the first position and the second position, the clutch mechanism being in a coupled state with which the handle is coupled with the spool when the clutch operating member is in the first position, the clutch mechanism being in a decoupled state with which the handle is decoupled with the spool when the clutch operating member is in the second position; a clutch yoke being engaged with the clutch mechanism, the clutch yoke being configured to be movable in an axial direction of the spool in conjunction with rotation of the tubular clutch cam for switching the clutch mechanism between the coupled state and the decoupled state; a coupling member being configured to couple the tubular clutch cam and the clutch operating member, the coupling member configured to rotate the tubular clutch cam between the coupled position and the decoupled position in conjunction with the movement of the clutch operating member between the first position and the second position; and a clutch return mechanism being coupled with the tubular clutch cam and the coupling member, the clutch return mechanism including
