Abstract: In an apparatus for mounting a reel on a fishing rod, a moving hood and a nut member respectively have contact surfaces which are brought into contact with each other. The outer sites in the diametrical direction of the respective contact surfaces are formed as pressure contact surfaces which are forced to contact each other when a fishing-reel fitting leg portion is clamped between a first and a second retaining portion by the clamping and pivotal operation of the nut member with respect to a seat body. The inner sites in the diametrical direction of the respective contact surfaces are formed into a click mechanism for producing a click sound with an elastic body and an engaging portion with which the elastic body detachably engages therewith during the rotation of the nut member.

Abstract: In an intra-line fishing rod, a rod tube comprises a synthetic resin as a matrix, and is reinforced by reinforced fibers. A guide is formed integrally with and projects from an inner surface of the rod tube. A cushioning portion is formed between the guide and a body layer of the rod tube which is composed predominantly of axially-extending fibers, and cushioning portions are formed respectively at front and rear sides of the guide connected to the inner surface of the rod tube. The cushioning portions are smaller in bending modulus than a bulge portion region of the guide for contact with a fishline, and the inner surface is formed with a mirror-like smoothness.

Abstract: The invention concerns an intra-line fishing rod which can both reduce the insertion resistance of a fishline and maintain a delicate flexible property. In the intra-line fishing rod with an inserted fishline, the inside diameter of the respective portions (a, b, c) of the top rod portion of the fishing rod is formed in a substantially straight shape having an inclination of {fraction (3/1000)} or less, and reinforcing fibers having different elastic moduli are used in the rod top portions and are sequentially arranged in such a manner not only that the reinforcing fibers extend substantially in the axial direction of the rod top portions but also that the elastic moduli become higher in a geometric series manner from the front portion (a) toward the rear portion (c).

Abstract: The invention concerns a fishing rod in which a fishline is passed through the inside thereof. In the fishing rod, one of front and rear rod pipes to be connected together is provided with an enlarged diameter portion for receiving an outer periphery of the other rod pipe. Such enlarged diameter portion reduces a difference between the inside diameters of the front and rear rod pipes, to thereby eliminate the possibility that the fishline can be abutted against the end portion of the rod pipes. Thus, the frictional resistance of the fishline can be decreased, so that the fishline can be smoothly drawn into and out of the rod pipes.

Abstract: The invention concerns a durable and good-operability fishing rod which is highly strong and is improved in specific rigidity by preventing excessive resin, reinforced fibers from leaning to one side, and resin pools. The fishing rod has a main layer (12) formed by winding a first prepreg provided by impregnating highly strong fibers with resin so that weight percentage becomes 25% or less so that the fibers are oriented in an axial length direction and a reinforcement layer (14, 16) formed by winding a second prepreg provided by impregnating highly strong fibers with resin so that the fibers are oriented in a direction crossing the fiber orientation of the main layer (12) on at least one side of the inside and outside of the main layer (12). The reinforcement layer (14, 16) is formed thinner than the main layer (12), and resin impregnation percentage of the second prepreg is set to substantially the same as that of the first prepreg.

Abstract: The present disclosure concerns an intra-line fishing rod with at least one fishing line guide member inserted therein. According to the present invention, maintenance of fishing line guide members is facilitated. Support members S1,S2,S3,S4 are mounted inside a rod pipe while respectively supporting fishing line guide members G1,G2,G3,G4 which allow a fishing line to slide smoothly therethrough. The support members and fishing line guide members are positioned and removably mounted inside the rod pipe.

Abstract: An inter-line fishing rod including a joint portion which, when a spirally shaped fishing line guide is disposed in the interior of a rod pipe joined outside, prevents the fishing line from getting caught in the terminated portion of the spirally shaped fishing line guide, thereby allowing the fishing line to be inserted smoothly through the fishing rod.

Abstract: An intraline fishing rod includes a hollow rod pipe having an internal surface and an external surface. A plurality of line guide protrusions protrude radially inwardly from the internal surface. Each of the line guide protrusions has front and rear ends, an apex, and front and rear slopes. A water-repellent layer is provided to extend continuously between the line guide protrusions, thereby entirely covering the front and rear ends, the apices and the front and rear slopes of the line guide protrusions and the internal surface of the rod pipe.

Abstract: A fishing rod allowing a fishline to pass through which has a fishline lead-in guide member so configured as to provide a larger opening, to perform smoothly the operation of guiding and passing a fishline therethrough and as to be lightweight and simple in structure. A fishline lead-in guide member 4 has laterally symmetrical arm portions 4a installed on the fishing rod 1 and extended forward above a fishline lead-in hole 3a provided in the fishing rod 1. The arm portions 4a form an opening whose width .alpha. is greater than the lateral width .beta. of the fishline lead-in hole.
