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.

A dual-bearing reel, comprising:
- a spool around which a fishing line is capable of being wound;
- a spool shaft disposed at a rotational center of the spool;
- a spool supporting portion configured to support one end of the spool shaft;
- a body portion on which the spool supporting portion is detachably mounted;
- and
- a rotating member configured to connect the spool supporting portion to the body portion, and rotate between a first position in which the spool supporting portion is capable of being removed from the body portion and a second position in which the spool supporting portion is not capable of being removed from the body portion,
- when in the first position, a radially outside portion of the rotating member is spaced from the body portion in at least one of a first radial direction away from the rotational center, and a first axial direction along the rotational center, and
- when in the second position, the radially outside portion is disposed on an inside of an outer surface of the body portion in the first radial direction, when viewing the rotating member from an outside in the first axial direction.
