In a double bearing type reel that allows performing the switching operation of the clutch engagement status, the operation to switch the clutch from a disengagement status to an engagement status can be performed easily. The clutch operating member (11) is the member used for operating the clutch mechanism (16) to switch between engagement status and disengagement status. The clutch operating member (11) has a first operation part (11a) disposed on the first side plate (7a), a second operation part (11b) disposed at the second side plate (7b), and a third operation part(11c) disposed further close to the fishing rod installation part (7g) than the first operation part (11a), and the first operation part (11a) is disposed further away from the fishing rod installation part (7g) than the second operation part (11b). The third operation part (11c) is used when the clutch mechanism (16) is restored to the engagement status from the disengagement status.在可進行向離合器接通狀態之切換操作之雙軸承式捲線器中，可容易地進行自離合器斷開狀態向離合器接通狀態之切換操作。離合器操作構件11為用以操作將離合器機構16切換為離合器接通狀態與離合器斷開狀態之構件。離合器操作構件11具有設置於第1側板7a側之第1操作部11a、設置於第2側板7b側之第2操作部11b、及較第1操作部11a設置於釣竿安裝部7g側之第3操作部11c。第1操作部11a較第2操作部11b自釣竿安裝部7g離開而設置。第3操作部11c係在將離合器機構16自離合器斷開狀態復原為離合器接通狀態時使用。
