Abstract
A dual-bearing reel includes a spool, a spool shaft, a spool supporting portion, a reel body, and a rotating member. The rotating member is disposed to be capable of rotating between a first position in which the spool supporting portion can be removed from the reel body and a second position in which the spool supporting portion cannot be removed from the reel body. In the first position the radially outside portion of the rotating member is disposed spaced apart from the reel body in at least one of a radial direction and an axial direction. In the second position the radially outside portion is disposed on the inside of the outer surface of the body portion in the radial direction, when viewing the rotating member from the outside in the axial direction.
