Abstract
A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool, a drag mechanism, a drag lever, and an engagement member. The drag mechanism is configured to brake the rotation of the spool. The drag lever is pivotably attached to the first reel body portion so as to be operable between a first region and a second region. The engagement member protrudes from the drag lever when the drag lever is in the first region. Further, the engagement member is retracted into the drag lever when the drag lever is in the second region.
