[0006] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0007] The objective of this invention is to provide a reel base suitable for use in a gripping position that holds approximately the entire reel base.

[0008] means for solving problems

[0009] The reel base of the present invention is a reel base for mounting a fishing reel to a fishing rod, and includes:

[0010] The cable reel holder has a first mounting surface for mounting the tip end of the cable reel and a second mounting surface for mounting the tail end of the cable reel; a cover portion that covers the tail end of the cable reel; and a recess that extends from a first circumferential surface opposite to the first mounting surface and extends over a first side surface of the cover portion.

[0011] According to this structure, since the recessed portion extends from the first perimeter of the first face across the first side of the cover, it is easy to grip approximately the entire reel base. Therefore, the fishing rod is easy to stabilize.

[0012] Preferably, the recess extends from the first side surface via the first peripheral surface to a second side surface in the cover portion located on the opposite side to the first side surface. According to this structure, approximately the entire reel base can be easily grasped by either the right or left hand.

[0013] Preferably, it also includes a gripping portion that extends onto a second circumferential surface opposite to the second mounting surface in the circumferential direction. With this structure, the rod tip side of the gripping portion can be held while placing fingers along the recessed portion.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a ridge that abuts at least a portion of the recess and has a ridge line. According to this structure, fingers can be easily placed along the recess, and misalignment of the fingers along the recess is prevented. The ridge also facilitates easy gripping of the recess by hand.

[0015] Preferably, the recessed portion in the first circumference of the rod also has a protrusion on the tip side. According to this structure, the protrusion allows for easy hand gripping of the recessed portion on the tip side. Furthermore, it facilitates the placement of fingers along the recessed portion.

[0016] Invention Effects

[0026] The following is a reference. Figures 1-8 The following describes a reel base according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The cable reel base 2 of this embodiment is shown in the diagram. Furthermore, in... Figure 7 The image shows a fishing rod with a reel base 2 installed. Figure 8 The diagram shows the fishing rod in use with the reel 100 installed. It should be noted that the rod tip side is referred to as the front side, and the rod butt side as the rear side. Furthermore, the axial direction of the fishing rod is defined as the front-to-back direction. The reel base 2 in this embodiment is suitable for a double-bearing reel 100. (As...) Figure 8 As shown, the double-bearing reel 100 is located on the upper side of the fishing rod in use. The reel 100 includes a foot 101. The foot 101 is mounted on the reel base 2. The front end 101a (tip end) and the rear end 101b (butt end) of the foot 101 are respectively fixed to the reel base 2. The direction in which the reel 100 is located on the fishing rod is defined as the upper side, and the side opposite to it in the circumferential direction is defined as the lower side.

[0027] The reel base 2 comprises a cylindrical reel base body 10 externally mounted and bonded to the rod body 1 of the fishing rod, and a cylindrical cover 11 and nut 12 externally mounted to the reel base body 10 and movable back and forth relative to the reel base body 10. An external thread 20 is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the front portion of the reel base body 10, and the nut 12 is screwed into this external thread 20. The nut 12 causes the cover 11 to move back and forth. The cover 11 is located behind the nut 12. The cover 11 moves back and forth with the nut 12 but does not rotate with it. The cover 11 opens to the rear. The cover 11 covers and secures the front end 101a of the foot member 101.

[0028] exist Figures 2-6 In the image, the reel base body 10 is shown as a single unit. The reel base body 10 is cylindrical, with the rod body 1 inserted through its inner side. The reel base body 10 has a rod insertion hole 21 through which the rod body 1 is inserted. The rod insertion hole 21 extends through the reel base body 10 in the front-to-back direction.

[0029] The cable reel base body 10 has an upper surface, a lower surface, and left and right side surfaces located between the upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface of the cable reel base body 10 is the surface on which the cable reel 100 is placed. The upper surface of the cable reel base body 10 is provided with a foot mounting portion 22 for mounting the foot 101. The foot mounting portion 22 has: a first mounting surface 22a for mounting the front end portion 101a of the foot 101; and a second mounting surface 22b for mounting the rear end portion 101b of the foot 101. The first mounting surface 22a and the second mounting surface 22b are spaced apart front to back. The first mounting surface 22a is located directly behind the external thread portion 20. The second mounting surface 22b is located at a distance spaced rearward from the first mounting surface 22a.

[0030] The cable reel base body 10 has a cover 23. The cover 23 is provided on the upper surface of the cable reel base body 10. The cover 23 is located on the rear side of the foot support 22 and opens to the front side. The cover 23 covers and fixes the rear end 101b of the foot 101. The foot 101 is clamped and fixed in the front and rear by the cover 11 and the cover 23 of the cable reel base body 10. The cover 23 is located on the upper side of the second support surface 22b and bulges upward in a tunnel shape. The cover 23 has an upper surface and left and right side surfaces 23a and 23b (first side surface and second side surface).

[0031] The lower surface of the cable reel base body 10 has: a first circumferential portion 24 located on the circumferentially opposite side of the first mounting surface 22a; and a second circumferential portion 25 located on the circumferentially opposite side of the second mounting surface 22b. The cable reel base body 10 has a gripping portion 26. The gripping portion 26 is provided on the lower surface of the cable reel base body 10. The gripping portion 26 is located on the second circumferential portion 25 in the lower surface of the cable reel base body 10. The gripping portion 26 bulges radially outward and downward. A finger can be placed on the front side of the gripping portion 26. Figure 8 As shown, the gripping portion 26 can accommodate multiple fingers, up to the little finger 205. The gripping portion 26 bulges downwards as it faces rearwards. The fingers abut against the front surface 26a of the gripping portion 26. The front surface 26a of the gripping portion 26 curves rearwards and upwards while extending downwards. The front surface 26a of the gripping portion 26 extends directly behind the first peripheral surface 24.

[0032] The cable reel base body 10 has recesses 27 on its left and right sides. These recesses 27 are marked with multiple dots in the figures. The recesses 27 extend from one side of the cable reel base body 10 via a lower surface to the other side. The recesses 27 are preferably symmetrical, but may also be asymmetrical or formed only on one side. In this embodiment, the recesses 27 are symmetrical.

[0033] The recess 27 originates from the first peripheral portion 24 of the lower surface of the cable reel base body 10, and extends in a groove shape towards the rear and upward on both the left and right sides. The recess 27 extends from the first peripheral portion 24 to the left side 23a (first side) and then to the right side 23b (second side) of the cover 23. In other words, the recess 27 extends from the left side 23a of the cover 23, through the first peripheral portion 24 of the lower surface of the cable reel base body 10, to the right side 23b of the cover 23. Preferably, the recess 27 extends further rearward than the left side 23a and right side 23b of the cover 23.

[0034] The main body 10 of the cable reel base has ridges 28 on its left and right sides. The ridges 28 protrude outwards in the left and right directions. The ridges 28 slope upwards towards the rear. The ridges 28 are positioned in the front-rear direction corresponding to the second mounting surface 22b, and also in the front-rear direction corresponding to the cover portion 23. The ridges 28 are positioned adjacent to the lower side of the recess 27. The ridges 28 extend along the recess 27.

[0035] The lower surface of the cable reel base body 10 has a downwardly protruding protrusion 29. The protrusion 29 is configured to be adjacent to the rear side of the recess 27 on the lower surface of the cable reel base body 10.

[0036] like Figure 8 As shown, the cable reel 100 is mounted on the cable reel base 2. Figure 8 The fishing rod is equipped with a left-handle reel 100. Therefore, the angler holds the reel 100 with their right hand, gripping both the base 2 and the reel itself, and rotates the handle 102 of the reel 100 with their left hand. Various gripping methods are possible; for example, the thumb 201 can be placed on the reel 100, with the index finger 202 to the little finger 205 resting against the base 2 from below. In this case, the middle finger 203 can be positioned along the recess 27. Therefore, the reel 100 and approximately the entire base 2 can be easily gripped, and the fishing rod is easily stabilized. In particular, circumferential rotation of the fishing rod can be easily suppressed.

[0037] Furthermore, since a protrusion 29 is provided on the rear side of the recess 27 in the lower surface of the reel base body 10, the position of the recess 27 in the lower surface of the reel base body 10 can be easily grasped with fingers. Therefore, the middle finger 203 can be bent to the left side from the lower surface of the reel base body 10 and along the recess 27, and the middle finger 203 can be easily placed along the recess 27. In addition, since a ridge 28 is provided on the lower side of the recess 27 on the left side, the middle finger 203 placed along the recess 27 is less likely to be misaligned downwards. The ring finger 204 can be placed along the lower side of the ridge 28. The ridge 28 can be positioned between the middle finger 203 and the ring finger 204.

[0038] exist Figure 8 In this case, a left-handle type cable reel 100 is mounted on the cable reel base 2, but a right-handle type cable reel 100 can also be mounted on the cable reel base 2. When using a right-handle type, hold the cable reel base 2 with your left hand. If the cable reel base 2 is symmetrical, then any type of cable reel 100, whether left-handle, right-handle, or any other type, can be mounted.
