It is preferable that a distance L2 from a central axis O of the rod to a lower end of the protrusion portion is larger than a distance L1 from the central axis O of the rod to an upper end of the protrusion portion.

Abstract: There is provided a fishing rod reel seat, a fishing rod handle member comprising the reel seat, and a fishing rod comprising the fishing rod reel seat and the fishing rod handle member, in which the inner surface processability is high, and the absence of resin and the fiber fuzz on an inner surface are less likely to occur. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a fishing rod handle member made by integrally molding a reel seat main body having a reel leg placing portion on which a reel leg is placed and a grip connected to the reel seat main body, in which an outer layer of the fishing rod handle member is formed of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and an inner layer of the fishing rod handle member is formed of resin.

Abstract: Provided is a fixture rod that is excellent in bonding strength between a core material and a reinforcing fiber layer and has high rigidity and high durability against a deformation load. A fixture rod according to one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises: a core member containing a resin; and a reinforcing fiber layer provided on the core member, and is configured such that the resin of the core member and a resin of the reinforcing fiber layer are the same resin, or the resin of the core member and the resin of the reinforcing fiber layer are different resins, and a critical surface tension of each of the resin of the core member and the resin of the reinforcing fiber layer is 20 mN/m or more.

Abstract: An electric fishing reel of the present invention comprises a drive motor that is provided in a frame of a reel main body and rotationally drives a spool around which a fishing line is wound. The drive motor comprises a motor case that houses a motor component and is attached to the frame, and a set plate is attached to the frame. Then, the motor case is fitted to the set plate by a fitting structure.

Abstract: A fixation rod according to an embodiment of the present invention is a fixation rod clamped by a fastening member fastened to a spine, in which a plurality of fiber layers are formed such that the plurality of fiber layers are laminated to overlap in a radial direction of the fixation rod as viewed in a cross section perpendicular to an axial direction of the fixation rod, a marking portion indicating a clamping location by the fastening member is formed in the fixation rod, and the marking portion is configured to indicate a clamping location in which a clamping direction by the fastening member at the clamping location is a direction intersecting an interlayer direction of the plurality of fiber layers.

Abstract: A fishing line guide that provides good operability to a fishing rod, that is efficiently reduced in weight, and that is less likely to be damaged. A fishing line guide includes: a guide leg serving as a fixed portion with respect to a rod; a fishing line insertion portion through which a fishing line is inserted; and a connecting portion rising from the guide leg and connected to the fishing line insertion portion. A rib protruding to a rod tip side from the vicinity of the fixed portion of the guide leg toward the fishing line insertion portion is formed.

Abstract: A reel seat and fishing rod wherein the reel seat can prevent stress concentration at a rod pipe base portion. The reel seat attached to a rod body includes a main body with a reel leg placing portion, fixed hood and tubular portions on the reel leg placing portion front or rear side, and an intermediate coupling portion coupling the tubular portion and a front or rear tubular portion along the axial direction; a movable hood provided on the rear side or the front side in the axial direction of the reel leg placing portion; and a nut member on the tubular portion outer surface and enabling movement of the movable hood by rotation. In the reel seat, bending rigidity of the intermediate coupling portion of the reel seat main body is lower than or equal to rod body base portion bending rigidity of the reel seat main body.

Abstract: A reel seat comprises a reel seat body having a placement portion on which mounting leg portions of a reel are placed; and a fixed hood and a movable hood each of which has a tubular shape and is provided so as to face the reel seat body. At least one of the fixed hood or the movable hood is provided with an extending portion extending while reducing in diameter toward the other. The extending portion is configured to be provided with a partial notch portion.

Abstract: A double-bearing reel of the present invention comprises a reel main body provided with an opening and closing mechanism that allows a side plate to be opened and closed with respect to a frame. The opening and closing mechanism comprises an opening and closing lever that is supported by the frame in a displaceable manner and comprises an operating part exposed from the reel main body and a locking portion, and an engaging portion provided on the side plate and engageable with and disengageable from the locking portion when the opening and closing lever is displaced by an operation of the operating part.

Abstract: A fixture rod includes a plurality of layers of a reinforcing fiber layer and a plurality of layers of any one of a resin layer, a reinforcing fiber layer having fibers different from those of the reinforcing fiber layer, and a reinforcing fiber layer having fibers obliquely oriented with respect to a fiber direction of the reinforcing fiber layer, in which the plurality of layers are each alternately formed as viewed in a cross-section. The fixture rod reduces damage at the time of fixing with a screw, has high rigidity and high durability against a deformation load, and has greatly improved safety even at the time of breaking.
