Abstract: A fishing line guide which is attached to a fishing rod and guides a fishing line. The fishing line guide includes a guide ring through which a fishing line passes, a support leg connected to the guide ring at an upper end, and an attachment foot extending from a lower end of the support leg and configured to be attached to a fishing rod. The attachment foot has a base end adjoining the lower end of the support leg and a leading end located opposite the base end. The attachment foot includes a slit portion and a pair of convex portions. The slit portion is perforated in the attachment foot along a central axis of the attachment foot from the base end toward the leading end. A pair of the convex portions are located at the slit portion and protrude toward the central axis respectively.

Abstract: A movable hood for a reel seat has a hood portion and a nut portion. A body of a reel seat passes through the hood portion. The hood portion is movable in a longitudinal direction of the body. The nut portion is connected to the hood portion to rotate around the body and is threadedly coupled to an outer peripheral surface of the body at an inner peripheral surface. The hood portion has a base end facing the nut portion and a leading end located opposite the base end. When viewing the hood portion from side, a length of an upper side of the hood portion from the base end to the leading end is longer than a length of a lower side of the hood portion from the base end to the leading end, and an upper contour of the hood portion has an upward convex curve line.

Abstract: A movable hood for a reel seat has a hood portion, through which a body of a reel seat passes, and a nut portion, which is connected to the hood portion to rotate around the body and is threadedly coupled to an outer peripheral surface of the body at an inner peripheral surface. The hood portion has a pair of first guide projections and a second guide projection which are fitted to the outer peripheral surface of the body. The first guide projections project from an inner peripheral surface of the hood portion above a central axis of the hood portion, and the second guide projection projects from the inner peripheral surface of the hood portion at a lower end of the hood portion. A radial thickness in a cross section of the hood portion gradually decreases from the first guide projections toward the second guide projection.

Abstract: A fishing line guide includes an attachment portion, a support leg frame, a support leg portion and a guide ring portion. The support leg frame extends from a base end of the attachment portion and is integrally formed with the attachment portion. The attachment portion and the support leg frame are made of a metallic material. The support leg portion extends from the base end of the attachment portion and is composited with the support leg frame throughout the overall length of the support leg frame. The guide ring portion is located at a tip end of the support leg portion. A fishing line passes through the guide ring portion. The support leg portion and the guide ring portion are partially or wholly made of a plastic material. A sectional area of the support leg frame gradually decreases toward the tip end of the support leg frame.

Abstract: A fishing line guide including an attachment foot having a thin thickness, a shorter length and a high strength. The fishing line guide includes at least one support leg, an attachment foot located at a distal end of the support leg, and a reinforcement groove formed in the attachment foot. The attachment foot has a lower surface making contact with a portion of a fishing rod, an upper surface located opposite the lower surface in a thickness direction, one end connected to the distal end of the support leg, and an opposite end located opposite the one end in a longitudinal direction. The reinforcement groove extends along the longitudinal direction of the attachment foot from the one end toward the opposite end in the lower surface of the attachment foot. A portion of the support leg and the attachment foot are made of a metallic material.

Abstract: An attachment tube for a top guide has a central axis extending in a longitudinal direction, a first insertion opening provided at one end in the longitudinal direction, a rectangular second insertion opening provided at the opposite end in the longitudinal direction, and an inclined surface provided at the opposite end. A tip portion of a fishing rod is inserted to the first insertion opening. An insertion leg of a frame supporting a guide ring is inserted to the second insertion opening. A rectangle center of the second insertion opening is spaced upward apart from the central axis. The inclined surface adjoins the second insertion opening and is inclined at an acute angle with respect to the central axis.

A sectional area of the support leg frame gradually decreases toward the tip end of the support leg frame.

Abstract: A fishing line guide includes a pair of lateral support legs and one rear support leg which extend from a guide ring. When viewing the fishing line guide from front, an outer contour of the lateral support legs is inclined from an attachment foot thereof at an angle of 45 degrees or more with respect to a horizontal line passing the attachment foot. An outer contour of the guide ring has a curve line, which has a center located outside the outer contour of the guide ring, from a position located at 45 degrees below the center of the guide ring. An upper contour of the lateral support legs joins to the outer contour of the guide ring above the center of the guide ring. A lower contour of the lateral support legs joins to the outer contour of the guide ring below the center of the guide ring.

Abstract: A fishing line guide having a line guide ring inclined to a tip side, and an angle of junction between the line guide ring and right and left side support legs made smaller at a butt side than at a tip side, and a hook concave portion, where the right and left support legs have outer contour surfaces and the right and left support legs are curved outwardly and continuously with respect to right and left tangential lines of the line guide ring.

Abstract: A fishing rod has a rod blank, and a line guide group attached to the rod blank for guiding a fishing line delivered from a reel to a top guide. The, line guide group is classified into a choke guide group configured with three choke guides and a tip guide group configured with a plurality of tip guides having a decreased height and diameter than the choke guides. Heights and diameters of the choke guides are set to draw one virtual cone shape in which the diameters are made to be circumferences. The heights and diameters of the tip guides are set to be all the same. Since the line is converged rapidly and smoothly, the tip guide group can have a combination of light guides having small diameter, thereby the entire weight can be saved greatly, and original ability of a rod can be brought out.
