Abstract
A handle structure for a dual-bearing reel, which is rotatably mounted on the reel unit of a dual-bearing reel and is attached to the distal end of a handle shaft provided with a drag mechanism, includes a seat plate, a fixing component for fixing the seat plate, and a handle unit. The seat plate has a periphery and is non-rotatably stopped at the distal end of the handle shaft. The fixing component is provided to the distal end of the handle shaft and fixes the seat plate such that it cannot move in the axial direction with respect to the handle shaft. The handle unit is non-rotatably stopped at the seat plate. The handle unit has a surface adjacent the reel unit and includes a housing component for housing and covering the distal end of the handle shaft.
