Even if a resistance is generated by an electric motor, a handle can be smoothly wound when a roll is wound and operated by a hand. The dual-bearing fishing reel (100) comprises a fishing reel main body (1), a handle (6), a roll (2), a roll shaft (4), a resistance mechanism (3), a first rotation transmission mechanism (5), a setting member (10), and a first control portion (11a). The roll (2) may rotate relative to the fishing reel main body (1). The roll shaft (4) rotates the roll (2) by means of the rotation of the handle (6). The resistance mechanism (3) has an electric motor (3a) for braking the rotation of the roll (2) in a fishing line discharging direction. The first rotation transmission mechanism (5) has a first planetary gear mechanism (28) which is used for transmitting the rotation between the electric motor (3a) and the roll shaft (4) and the roll (2). The setting member (10) is movably provided in the fishing reel main body (1) for setting the resistance of operating the resistance mechanism (3). The first control portion (11a) controls the electric motor (3a) in response to the movement position of the setting member (10).
