Fishing electric reel

A fishing electric reel comprising:

• a spool that is provided between frames of a reel body and rotates by receiving at least a driving force of an electric motor;
• a clutch mechanism that is provided on the side of one of the frames to which a handle shaft is attached and switches the spool between a driving force transmission state and a driving force interruption state;
• and
• a return mechanism that is provided on the side of one of the frames and causes the clutch mechanism that has been brought into the driving force interruption state to return to the driving force transmission state,
• wherein the clutch mechanism has a clutch operating member that is rotated by an operation of a clutch lever and is brought into the driving force interruption state,
• the return mechanism comprises
• a returning gear that is provided on a motor shaft of the electric motor,
• a clutch returning rotator that meshes with the returning gear and rotates, and
• a kick member that is rotatably supported by the clutch operating member, rotates in conjunction with rotation of the clutch operating member to engage with/disengage from the clutch returning rotator, and causes the clutch operating member that has been brought into the driving force interruption state to return to the driving force transmission state, and
• the clutch returning rotator and the kick member are disposed between a spool shaft supporting the spool and the motor shaft, wherein
• the clutch returning rotator comprises an engagement claw that engages with the kick member and a biasing member, and
• the engagement claw is configured to
• be capable of changing a position around an axis of the clutch returning rotator,
• acquire a first position moved in a rotation direction of the clutch returning rotator and a second position moved in a direction opposite to the first position, and
• is biased from the second position toward the first position by a biasing force of the biasing member.
