Abstract: In a reel seat of the present disclosure, a position of a reel leg placement portion on which a reel leg of a fishing reel is placed is offset in a descending direction with respect to a position of an axial center of a rod. An inclined surface connecting an upper end position of a hood portion defining an opening of a fixed hood to a grip upper surface gripped on the rear side of the fishing reel is provided on the rear side of the fishing reel attached to and fixed to the reel leg placement portion, and the inclined surface is formed such that an inclination angle ? of rising toward the grip upper surface from the upper end position of the hood portion does not exceed 45° and an inclination angle ? of descending from the grip upper surface does not exceed 35° in side view.

Abstract: A reel seat of the present disclosure has a seat body including a reel leg placing portion and a tubular portion formed with an opening hole that a rear end portion of a rod is fitted in and fixed to. The seat body includes a floating hood moving in an axial direction to fix a reel leg on the reel leg placing portion, a nut member fitted in the floating hood to move the floating hood in the axial direction with the floating hood whirl-stopped, and a click mechanism provided in a fitting region between the floating hood and the nut member. The click mechanism includes a recess-and-projection formed on an inner peripheral surface of the nut member and produces click sound, and an arc-shaped recessed portion formed on an outer peripheral surface of the floating hood to install a plate spring therein. The plate spring has a top portion engaged with the recess-and-projection.

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: A fishing line guide includes a fishing line guide section guiding a fishing line along a fishing rod, a first leg portion extending in a first direction from an end portion of the fishing line guide section and having a fixed portion disposed at a tip, and a second leg portion branching from either one of the end portion of the fishing line guide section and the first leg portion to extend in a second direction and having a fixed portion disposed at a tip are integrally configured, the fishing line guide including a first fiber-reinforced resin sheet, a second fiber-reinforced resin sheet, and a third fiber-reinforced resin sheet, each sheet including a laminated structure with a flat bonding surface, the laminated structure including a plurality of sheet-shaped synthetic resins containing reinforced fibers that are laminated together.

Abstract: One object is to provide a fishing line guide including a high-hardness guide ring and a fishing rod provided with said fishing line guide. A fishing line guide according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a guide body with a through hole formed therein and a guide ring fitted into the through hole of the guide body. In one aspect, the guide ring includes a base material layer and a surface layer formed on a surface of the base material layer. In one aspect of the present invention, the base material layer is formed of an alloy having an Fe content of 3 wt % or less or 2 wt % or less. In one aspect of the present invention, the surface layer is formed of chromium carbide, titanium carbide, or vanadium carbide.
