A dual bearing reel includes a spool having a bobbin trunk and first and second flanges, a spool shaft including a first supported portion on a first flange side and a second supported portion on a second flange side, and the spool shaft configured to integrally rotate with the spool, a reel body including a first body portion rotatably supporting the first supported portion and a second body portion rotatably supporting the second supported portion; a level-wind mechanism to move a fishing line guide along an axial direction of the spool shaft in reciprocating fashion in conjunction with the rotation of the spool, a first braking unit disposed in the first body portion facing the first flange and configured to brake the rotation of the spool, and a rotation transmission mechanism in the second body portion and configured to transmit the rotation of the spool to the level-wind mechanism.

Dual-bearing reel

A dual-bearing reel comprises a reel main body, a spool, a spool shaft, an adjusting member, and an operation lever. The adjusting member is attached to the reel main body. The adjusting member adjusts a braking force with which a rotation of the spool shaft is braked. The operation lever is attached to the adjusting member such that the operation lever extends in a radial direction.

A dual-bearing reel capable of reeling in and reeling out a fishing line includes a reel body, a spool, a spool shaft, an operating member, and an oscillating mechanism. The spool is rotatably supported by the reel body. The spool shaft supports the spool. The operating member is movably provided on the reel body and moves to perform an adjustment operation on a braking force that acts on the spool. The oscillating mechanism causes the fishing line to oscillate in the axial direction in synchronization with a rotation of the spool.
