It is an object of the present invention to enable a reel unit to be easily grasped in palming. The present dual-bearing reel is the one for forwardly reeling out a fishing line in a forward direction. The dual-bearing reel includes a reel unit (1), a spool (12), a handle (2) and an attaching member (81). The reel unit (1) includes first and second main body parts (1a and 1b) disposed such that a first lateral surface (1c) and a third lateral surface (1d) thereof are opposed to each other at a predetermined interval. The attaching member (81) includes an attaching surface (82) facing a first direction. The first main body part (1a) has a recessed portion (1j) extended along a first boundary portion (1h) that is a boundary portion between the first lateral surface (1c) and an attachment-side surface (1f) of the first main body part (1a). The attachment-side surface (82) faces the first direction. Fig. 2
