Clutch return mechanism for a dual-bearing reel

A clutch return mechanism of a dual-bearing reel for returning a clutch cam from a released position to a coupled position, the clutch cam being rotatably mounted to a reel body between the coupled position and the released position, the clutch return mechanism comprising:

• a rotating member integrally rotatable with a handle;
• a clutch return member including a first end and a second end extending from the first end toward the rotating member, the first end being pivotally coupled to the clutch cam by a pivot shaft that is disposed so as to be parallel to a rotating shaft of a spool between an engaged position, in which the second end engages the rotating member, and a separated position, in which the second end is separated from the rotating member;
• and
• a biasing member configured to divide and bias the clutch return member to the engaged position and the separated position,
• the clutch return member comprising
• a synthetic resin body member pivotally mounted to the clutch cam, the body member including a first connecting portion coupled to one end of the pivot shaft on one surface of the clutch cam, and
• a metallic reinforcing member configured to integrally pivot with the body member and to reinforce the body member, the reinforcing member including a second connecting portion coupled to the other end of the pivot shaft on the other surface of the clutch cam.
