The invention provides a dual-bearing reel capable of easily weakening drag force in drag force mechanism around a driving shaft; a drag force mechanism (23) of the dual-bearing reel (100) can brake reel barrel (12)rotations in a wire releasing direction; the drag force mechanism (23) is provided with a star-shaped drag force device (36) and a friction mechanism (37); the star-shaped drag force device (36) can integrately rotate and can clamp with an outer periphery of a driving shaft (30) in a relative rotation mode, and can rotate relative to the driving shaft (30) so as to axially move relative to the driving shaft (30); the friction mechanism (37) is arranged on the driving shaft (30), and the drag force can change along axial motion amount of the star-shaped drag force device (36); the star-shaped drag force device (36) can relatively rotate in an opposite direction of a wire reeling direction of a handle (2) relative to the driving shaft, thus moving in a drag force increasing direction.
