The fixture rod according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a core member containing fibers; and a reinforcing fiber layer provided on the core member, and a part of the fibers of the core member is exposed from the core member, and a part of the fibers with the exposed part is embedded in the reinforcing fiber layer.

Abstract: A fixture rod which reduces damage at the time of fixing with a screw, has high rigidity, and has high durability against a deformation load is provided. A fixture rod according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to comprise a core member and a reinforcing fiber layer provided on the core member.

Abstract: The present invention provides a reel leg fixing apparatus having a sufficient strength in the coupling between the operation nut and the movable hood while reducing the thickness and the weight of the movable hood efficiently and effectively. In the reel leg fixing apparatus according to the present invention, the movable hood and the operation nut are coupled together when a locking portion bent and provided at an end of the movable hood is engaged with a recess at an end of the operation nut. The movable hood is formed of a prepreg sheet as a fiber-reinforced resin member including reinforcement fibers impregnated with a synthetic resin, and the reinforcement fibers oriented at least in the axial direction extend continuously at least in a coupling between the movable hood and the operation nut.

Abstract: One object is to provide a reel leg fixing apparatus including a hood portion having an efficiently reduced thickness and weight while maintaining a sufficient strength. Another object of the present invention is to provide a reel leg fixing apparatus including a hood portion having a reduced thickness and weight while efficiently ensuring necessary strength at relevant portions, and a method of fabricating the reel leg fixing apparatus. Still another object of the present invention is to provide a reel leg fixing apparatus including a hood portion having an oblique end that allows weight reduction and maintains a sufficient strength.

Abstract: One object is to provide a reel seat allowing reinforcement of a hood for retaining a reel leg while maintaining the appearance and restricting the increase in weight, and a fishing rod having such a reel seat. A reel seat according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed hood for retaining one end of a reel leg on the reel seat body, and a fiber-reinforced resin sheet is provided so as to extend over an outer circumference of the fixed hood and an outer circumference of the reel seat body. The reinforcement fibers may extend over the entire length of the fiber-reinforced resin sheet. The reinforcement fibers in the fiber-reinforced resin sheet extend in a direction slanted or orthogonal with respect to a longitudinal direction of the rod.

Abstract: Where a super-elastic alloy is used as a core material, boundary separation can be prevented on substantial deflection. The super-elastic alloy is used as the core material, an outside layer made with fiber-reinforced resin is provided outside except the tip part region of the core material, and a resin-rich layer greater in resin ratio than the outside layer is provided between the outside layer and the core material so as to be adjacent to the core material.
