Abstract
A dual-bearing reel includes a reel body, a spool rotatable relative to the reel body, a spool shaft integrally rotatable with the spool, a one-way clutch and an operating lever. The one-way clutch includes an outer ring rotatable relative to the reel body and a rolling body configured to transmit rotation of the spool shaft in a casting direction to the outer ring. The one-way clutch is attached to the spool shaft. The operating lever has a flat shape, is attached to the reel body, and extends in a radial direction. The operating lever is configured to adjust a braking force that brakes the rotation of the outer ring.
