[0002] In order to couple a fishing reel to a rod body of a fishing rod, a reel seat capable of fixing the reel is connected to the rod body. The reel seat may have a seat body formed in a tubular shape so that the rod body is inserted into the reel seat. The seat body is coupled to the rod body. The seat body has a fixed cover that fixes one of the legs of the reel, and a male threaded portion formed at an opposite end opposite to the fixed cover. A movable cover for fixing another one of the legs of the reel is coupled to the seat body so as to be movable in the axial direction of the rod body. The fixed cover and the movable cover fixedly support the corresponding reel legs, thereby fixing the reel.

[0003] Reference Figure 1 According to the prior art, a fishing rod 10 includes a reel 11 having a reel leg, a reel seat 12 for fixing the reel 11 by fixedly supporting the reel leg, and a rod body 13 passing through the reel seat 12. The reel seat 12 includes a seat body 121 and a movable cover 122. Figure 2 The seat body 121 includes a fixed support for the winding wheel ( Figure 1 The attachment body 121a at one end of the reel leg of the reel 11) and the rod body ( Figure 1 The rod body 13 in the cylindrical portion 121b is inserted into and passes through the cylindrical portion 121b, and the gripping body 121c is fastened to the cylindrical portion 121b to surround the outward portion of the cylindrical portion 121b.

An imaginary plane VP forming the entrance of the opening portion HP and an upper contour line 123L in the inclined shape of the fixed cover 123 form an angle aa therebetween, and the angle aa is formed to be approximately vertical. Due to the above-mentioned angle aa, when one end of the reel leg is connected to the fixed cover 123, unevenness is formed between the reel and the reel seat. Therefore, when gripping the reel seat, the angler may feel a foreign body sensation or an uncomfortable feeling, and the gripping feeling may be deteriorated accordingly.

[0005] Therefore, in order to make the angler grip the fishing rod comfortably, it is necessary to minimize the unevenness between the reel legs and the reel seat. For example, it is necessary to form a continuous curved surface between the opening HP of the fixed cover 123 and the connection part where the reel legs are connected. Summary of the invention

The female thread and the male threaded portion 1131 are engaged with each other, whereby the nut 1211 is coupled to the cylindrical portion 1112 so as to be movable by a threaded engagement action. When the nut 1211 is rotated in the circumferential direction CD, the nut 1211 may be moved in the rearward or forward direction while being rotated by the threaded engagement action between the female thread and the male thread portion 1131 .

[0074] The nut 1211 is connected to the movable body 1212 so as to be relatively rotatable in the circumferential direction CD. The movable body 1212 has a shape capable of covering and pressing the second leg of the reel. The movable body 1212 is movable in the axial direction AD along the center axis CA, but does not rotate in the circumferential direction CD. That is, the movable body 1212 is guided by the guide groove 1132 of the male threaded portion 1131 so as to move only along the center axis CA.

[0075] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the movable body 1212 includes a movable cover portion 1240 and a receiving portion 1250. The movable cover portion 1240 may form a portion of an upper portion and a front portion of the movable body 1212. The receiving portion 1250 is located at opposite sides of the movable cover portion 1240 in the vertical direction VD. The receiving portion 1250 may form a portion of a lower portion and a front portion of the movable body 1212.

[0076] The movable cover portion 1240 extends forward and may be formed into a shape covering the second leg portion 2320 of the reel 2300. The movable cover portion 1240 may be formed into a shape substantially corresponding to a shape obtained by bisecting a truncated cone in its axial direction. When the movable body 1212 is moved toward the fixed cover portion 1122 by the nut 1211, the movable cover portion 1240 presses and fixes the second leg portion to the seating portion 1121 of the attachment body 1111.

[0077] According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, the movable body 1212 may further include a reinforcement cover 1270, which is engaged with the movable cover portion 1240 to reinforce the movable cover portion 1240. The reinforcement cover 1270 is configured to cover the outer surface of the movable cover portion 1240 of the movable cover 1200 along the central axis CA and in the circumferential direction CD of the central axis. Therefore, the reinforcement cover 1270 can prevent the deformation of the movable cover portion 1240 of the movable cover. The reinforcement cover 1270 may be made of a metal material. For example, the metal material of the reinforcement cover may be titanium having light weight and high strength. As another example, the metal material of the reinforcement cover may be stainless steel or aluminum having decorative properties. Since the reinforcement cover 1270 made of a metal material covers the movable cover portion 1240, the movable cover 1200 may have a decorative and high-end feel. The reinforcement cover 1270 may be formed of a metal sheet by press working. The reinforcement cover 1270 made of a metal material may have elasticity and rigidity. Therefore, the reinforcement cover 1270 may be coupled to the movable cover portion 1240 in such a manner that the reinforcement cover 1270 is pressed toward the movable cover portion 1240 to be snap-coupled to the movable cover portion.

[0078] The accommodating portion 1250 is located at the opposite side of the movable cover portion 1240 in the vertical direction VD, for example, below the movable cover portion 1240. Assuming the truncated cone shape of the movable body 1212, the accommodating portion 1250 may be formed in a shape corresponding to a shape obtained by cutting off such a truncated cone shape so that the movable cover portion 1240 remains. Therefore, the accommodating portion 1250 may be formed as a space located below the movable cover portion 1240. As described above, the movable cover 1200 includes the movable cover portion 1240 that presses and fixes the second leg to the seating portion 1121, and the accommodating portion 1250 that is located below the movable cover portion 1240 in the vertical direction VD and is formed as a space below the movable cover portion 1240. The movable cover portion 1240 and the accommodating portion 1250 have a common edge in the circumferential direction CD.

[0079] Reference Figure 4 , the first protruding portion 1140 of the seat body and the receiving portion 1250 of the movable body have complementary shapes. When the movable cover 1200 moves toward the fixed cover portion 1122 to fix the second leg, the movable cover portion 1240 of the movable body 1212 moves beside the first protruding portion 1140 along the central axis CA, and the first protruding portion 1140 is received in the receiving portion 1250. Therefore, when the movable cover 1200 fixes the second leg, a portion of the movable cover (e.g., the movable cover portion 1240) and a portion of the seat body (e.g., the first protruding portion 1140) are positioned in the vertical direction VD, and the portion of the movable cover is positioned above the first protruding portion 1140.

[0080] The first protruding portion 1140 is located opposite to the accommodating portion 1250 along the central axis CA. The accommodating portion 1250 is concave with respect to the first protruding portion 1140. Therefore, when the movable cover 1200 moves toward the fixed cover portion 1122 to press and fix the second leg to the seating portion 1121, the first protruding portion 1140 can be inserted and fitted into the accommodating portion 1250, and the accommodating portion 1250 can accommodate the first protruding portion 1140.

[0081] According to one embodiment, the seat body 1100 of the reel seat is integrally formed by injection molding. The seat body 1100 may be integrally molded from a thermoplastic resin so that the grip body 1113 fits into the above-mentioned cylindrical portion 1112. As an example, the seat body 1100 may be integrally formed using a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin. When compared to the commonly used glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, the carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin has a lower density and a higher tensile strength. As an example, as a material for the seat body 1100, a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin having a PA12-CF30 (L7) grade may be used. As for the material properties of this carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, the tensile strength may be 270 MPa, the flexural strength may be 340 MPa, the flexural elastic modulus may be 17,000 MPa, and the Charpy notched impact strength may be 22 kJ / m 2 , the deflection temperature under load can be 178°C, and the density can be 1.16 g / cm 3 .

[0082] As a comparative example, the seat body of the reel seat may be integrally formed using a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin having a PA66-GF30 grade. As for the material properties of this glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin, the tensile strength may be 140 MPa, the flexural strength may be 215 MPa, the flexural elastic modulus may be 6,800 MPa, and the simply supported beam notched impact strength may be 16 kJ / m 2 , the deflection temperature under load can be 262°C, and the density can be 1.37 g / cm 3 A carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin having a lower density and a higher tensile strength than a glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin constitutes a seat body of a reel seat according to an embodiment. Therefore, the seat body according to an embodiment can have a thinner thickness at a portion contacting with the fingers of an angler and can have a reduced weight.

[0083] Continue to refer Figure 6 and Figure 7In one embodiment, the placement portion 1121 may be formed flat to stably place the first leg and the second leg of the reel. Specifically, the placement portion 1121 is formed in the placement surface 1121P. The opening edge portion 1125 is formed in an inverted U-shape relative to the placement portion 1121. The opening edge portion 1125 is formed to surround at least a portion of the opening 1130. The opening edge portion 1125 is formed in a first imaginary plane VP1. The opening edge portion 1125 is formed to be inclined upward from the placement portion 1121. The first imaginary plane VP1 in which the opening edge portion 1125 is formed forms a predetermined angle a2 relative to the placement surface 1121P. The first imaginary plane VP1 intersects with the placement surface 1121P while forming an acute angle relative to the placement surface. The first imaginary plane VP1 is formed to be inclined at an angle of 15 to 25 degrees relative to the placement surface 1121P. Preferably, the first imaginary plane VP1 is formed to be inclined 20 degrees relative to the placement surface 1121P. Since the first imaginary plane VP1 is formed to be inclined with respect to the setting surface 1121P by the above-mentioned angle range, the foreign body feeling felt on the fingers of the angler can be reduced, and the gripping feeling can be enhanced accordingly.

[0084] The second imaginary plane VP2 is formed perpendicular to the seating surface 1121P along the central axis CA. The inward surface 1124 extending from the opening edge portion 1125 toward the seating portion 1121 into the opening 1130 is bisected by the second imaginary plane VP2. The inward surface 1124 is bisected by the first imaginary line L1, where the second imaginary plane VP2 and the inward surface 1124 intersect. The first imaginary line L1 has a predetermined angle a1 relative to the first imaginary plane VP1. That is, the first imaginary line L1 is formed to be inclined relative to the first imaginary plane VP1. The first imaginary line L1 and the first imaginary plane VP1 intersect each other by forming an obtuse angle.

[0085] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a seat body 1100 according to an embodiment, for explaining an opening edge portion. Fig. 9 yes Figure 8 A top view of the base body 1100 is shown in FIG. Fig.10 yes Figure 8 A side view of the seat body 1100 is shown in FIG. Fig.11 FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a seat body 1100 according to one embodiment, for explaining an inclined wall. Fig.12 yes Fig.11 A front view of the seat body 1100 is shown in FIG. Figures 8 to 12 .

[0086] refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9, the opening edge portion 1125 has a first opening edge portion 1125a. A pair of first opening edge portions 1125a are formed. The pair of first opening edge portions 1125a are formed to be spaced apart from each other relative to the central axis CA. Each of the pair of first opening edge portions 1125a extends from one end thereof intersecting with the seating portion 1121 in the first imaginary plane VP1 in a direction perpendicular to a line where the seating surface 1121P and the first imaginary plane VP1 intersect with each other. Each of the pair of first opening edge portions 1125a has a first inward edge line EL1 formed along a line where the first opening edge portion 1125a and the inward surface 1124 intersect with each other. The first inward edge line EL1 has a straight line shape.

[0087] The opening edge portion 1125 has a second opening edge portion 1125b. The second opening edge portion 1125b is formed to interconnect a pair of first opening edge portions 1125a. The second opening edge portion 1125b is connected to opposite ends of each first opening edge portion 1125a formed on opposite sides of one end. The second opening edge portion 1125b has a curved shape in the first imaginary plane VP1. The second opening edge portion 1125b may have a semicircular shape. The second opening edge portion 1125b has a second inward edge line EL2 formed along a line where the second opening edge portion 1125b and the inward surface 1124 intersect each other. The second inward edge line EL2 has a curved shape. When the reel seat is viewed from a top view, the second inward edge line EL2 is formed to surround a portion of the central axis CA. For example, the second inward edge line EL2 has a semicircular shape surrounding a portion of the central axis CA. The second inward edge line EL2 is connected to the first inward edge line EL1 at the intersection 1125c. The semicircular shape of the second inward edge line EL2 is tangent to a pair of first inward edge lines EL1 at an intersection 1125c. A pair of intersections 1125c are formed. Specifically, the first inward edge line EL1 and the second inward edge line EL2 are continuously connected. The second inward edge line EL2 has a midpoint 1125p that divides the length of the second inward edge line EL2 in half.

[0088] Continue to refer Fig. 9, the edge width EW is defined as the length of the second imaginary line L2 interconnecting the pair of intersection points 1125c. The edge depth ED is defined as the length of the third imaginary line L3 interconnecting both the midpoint 1125p of the second inward edge line EL2 and the midpoint of the second imaginary line L2 interconnecting the pair of intersection points 1125c. The edge depth ED is the distance from the second imaginary line L2 interconnecting the pair of intersection points 1125c to the midpoint 1125p of the second inward edge line EL2. The edge depth ED is 0.45 to 0.55 times the edge width EW. Preferably, the edge depth ED is 0.5 times the edge width EW. Since the edge depth ED has a length in the aforementioned range relative to the edge width EW, the stress felt on the fingers of the angler gripping the reel seat can be reduced, and the gripping feeling can be enhanced accordingly.

[0089] refer to Fig.10 In the side view of the reel seat, the sum of the length L4 of one of the pair of first opening edge portions 1125a and the length L5 of the second opening edge portion 1125b is greater than the length of the first imaginary line L1. That is, in the side view of the reel seat, the length of the opening edge portion 1125 is greater than the length of the first imaginary line L1.

[0090] refer to Figures 9 to 12 , the fixed cover portion 1122 includes an inclined wall 1127 formed between each of a pair of first opening edge portions 1125a and the seating portion 1121. The inclined wall 1127 has an inclined side 1127a including one of the pair of first inward edge lines EL1. The inclined wall 1127 has a bottom side 1127b formed at a boundary between the fixed cover portion 1122 and the seating portion 1121. The inclined wall 1127 has a constant thickness ww. Preferably, the thickness ww of the inclined wall 1127 may be in the range of 2 mm to 3 mm. More preferably, the thickness ww of the inclined wall 1127 may be 2.5 mm. Since the inclined wall 1127 has the above-mentioned thickness ww, a reel seat having sufficient tensile strength and having a distinctive appearance may be provided. In addition, since the thickness of fixed cover part 1122 is reduced, when the first leg of the reel is inserted into opening 1130, the step difference formed between fixed cover part 1122 and the first leg can be reduced, and the gripping feeling of the fisherman's fingers gripping the reel seat can be enhanced.

[0091] Fig.13 is a side view of a portion of a fishing rod including a reel seat according to one embodiment. Fig.14 yes Fig.13 A side view of the body 1100 of the spinning reel seat is shown. Fig.15 yes Fig.13 Front view of the reel seat shown in . Figures 13 to 15The following description is given.

[0092] As described above, the seat body 1100 may include a male threaded portion 1131, an attachment body 1111, a cylindrical portion 1112, and a gripping body 1113. The attachment body 1111 includes a first protrusion 1140 forming a rear end portion of the attachment body 1111. The attachment body 1111 also includes a second protrusion 1150 forming a lateral end portion and a front end portion of the attachment body 1111. The second protrusion 1150 extends from the first protrusion 1140 along the central axis CA. The second protrusion 1150 forms a fixed cover portion 1122 together with the seating portion 1121. The first protrusion 1140 has a first outer peripheral surface 1141. The first protrusion 1140 has a first radius 1141R. The first radius 1141R is defined as the distance from the central axis CA to the first outer peripheral surface 1141. The first hole (e.g., Fig.12 The radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 in the reel 1114 may have a range of 0.59 to 0.71 times the first radius 1141R. Preferably, the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 may be 0.65 times the first radius 1141R. Due to the above ratio of the first radius 1141R and the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114, the reel seat may be formed to be most conveniently grasped in consideration of the length range and length ratio of the general palm and fingers of an angler.

[0093] The cut-off edge 1118 of the gripping body 1113 is formed complementarily with the edges of the first protruding portion 1140 and the second protruding portion 1150 of the attachment body 1111. The cut-off edge 1118 of the gripping body 1113 is formed by cutting off the gripping body around the second hole (e.g., Figure 4 The cut-out edge 1118 is formed by a portion of the second hole 1116 in the grip body 1113, and its shape is complementary to the edge of the first protrusion 1140 and the edge of the second protrusion 1150. The cut-out edge 1118 is formed to expose the second hole 1116. The grip body 1113 has a second outer peripheral surface 1115. The grip body 1113 has a second radius 1115R. The second radius 1115R is defined as the distance from the central axis CA to the second outer peripheral surface 1115. The second radius 1115R is equal to the first radius 1141R. Specifically, the first hole (for example, Fig.12The radius 1114R of the first hole 1114) may have a range of 0.59 to 0.71 times the second radius 1115R. Preferably, the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 may be 0.65 times the second radius 1115R. The second radius 1115R may be formed in the range of 10.0 mm to 14.5 mm. When the second radius 1115R has the above range, the reel seat may be designed to have a thickness that allows the reel seat to be most comfortably gripped relative to the average length of the palm and fingers of the angler. Assuming that the second radius 1115R is formed in the range of 10.0 mm to 14.5 mm, when the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 is formed in the range of 6.0 to 8.0 mm, it is preferred that the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 ranges from 0.59 to 0.65 times the second radius 1115R. Furthermore, when the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 is formed in the range of 8.0 mm to 10.0 mm, preferably, the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 is in the range of 0.65 to 0.71 times the second radius 1115R.

[0094] Fig.16 FIG. 1 is a top view of a seat body 1100 according to an embodiment, for explaining the length ratios between components of the seat body. Fig.17 yes Fig.16 A side view of the seat body 1100 is shown in FIG. Fig.18 yes Fig.16 A front view of the seat body 1100 is shown in FIG. Figures 16 to 18 .

[0095] As referenced above Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As described above, the opening edge portion 1125 has a pair of first opening edge portions 1125a and a second opening edge portion 1125b interconnecting the pair of first opening edge portions 1125a. Each of the pair of first opening edge portions 1125a has a first opening edge portion 1125a and an inner surface (e.g., Fig.10 The second opening edge portion 1125b has a first inward edge line EL1 formed along a line where the second opening edge portion 1125b and the inward surface 1124 intersect each other. The semicircular shape of the second inward edge line EL2 is tangent to a pair of first inward edge lines EL1 at the intersection 1125c. The intersection 1125c is formed in pairs. The edge width EW is defined as the length of a second imaginary line L2 interconnecting a pair of intersections 1125c. In addition, as described above with reference to Figures 13 to 15As described above, the first protruding portion 1140 has a first outer peripheral surface 1141. The first protruding portion 1140 has a first radius 1141R. The first radius 1141R is defined as the distance from the central axis CA to the first outer peripheral surface 1141. The edge width EW may have a range of 1.18 to 1.42 times the first radius 1141R. Preferably, the edge width EW may be 1.3 times the first radius 1141R.

[0096] When the thickness of the reel leg of a spinning reel generally used is taken into consideration, the edge width EW may be formed within a range of 14.5 mm to 17.0 mm. Fig.12 The radius of the first hole 1114 in Fig.12 The reel used in the fishing rod is selected based on the radius 1114R in the first hole 1114. Therefore, assuming that the edge width EW is formed in the range of 14.5 mm to 17.0 mm, when the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 is formed in the range of 6.0 to 8.0 mm, the edge width EW preferably has a range of 1.30 to 1.42 times the first radius 1141R. In addition, when the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 is formed in the range of 8.0 to 10.0 mm, it is preferred that the edge width EW has a range of 1.18 to 1.30 times the first radius 1141R.

[0097] Continue to refer Figures 16 to 18 , the fixed cover portion 1122 includes an inclined wall 1127 formed between each first opening edge portion 1125a and the seating portion 1121. The inclined wall 1127 has a constant height 1127H. The height 1127H of the inclined wall 1127 is defined as the distance from the seating portion 1121 to the intersection 1125c. The height 1127H of the inclined wall 1127 may have a range of 0.19 to 0.27 times the first radius 1141R.

[0098] In order to design the height 1127H of the inclined wall 1127 to be close to the height of the reel leg of a commonly used spinning reel, the height 1127H may be formed within a range of 2.1 mm to 3.6 mm. Fig.12 The radius of the first hole 1114 in Fig.14Therefore, assuming that the height 1127H of the inclined wall 1127 is formed in the range of 2.1 mm to 3.6 mm, when the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 is formed in the range of 6.0 to 8.0 mm, preferably, the height 1127H has a range of 2.1 mm to 2.3 mm or a range of 0.19 to 0.21 times the first radius 1141R. In addition, when the radius 1114R of the first hole 1114 is formed in the range of 8.0 to 10.0 mm, preferably, the height 1127H has a range of 3.3 mm to 3.6 mm or a range of 0.25 to 0.27 times the first radius 1141R.

[0099] Fig.19 is a side view of a portion of a fishing rod according to one embodiment, showing an example of an angler gripping a reel seat when a fishing reel is attached to the reel seat according to one embodiment. Fig. 20 yes Fig.19 Bottom view of a portion of the fishing rod shown. Fig.21 is along Fig.19 A cross-sectional view taken along line 20-20 in FIG. Figures 19 to 21 .

[0100] The reel seat according to one embodiment is designed so that the length ratio and / or size ratio between the corresponding components included in the reel seat is within the above range. Therefore, the step difference between the first leg 2310 and the fixed cover part 1122 of the attachment body 1111 can be reduced. Therefore, the fingers (e.g., Figures 19 to 21 The angler's index finger (in the middle) can comfortably grip the reel seat, and the angler can maintain a comfortable grip during fishing. The angler's thumb is positioned on the outer peripheral surface of the grip body 1113, thereby facilitating a more comfortable grip of the reel seat 1000. Fig.21 , the inclined wall 1127 of the fixed cover portion 1122 may have a curved outer surface so as to have continuity with the circular shape of the outer peripheral surface of the grip body 1113. Therefore, when the angler grips the reel seat 1000, the gripping feeling felt by the angler may be further enhanced.

[0101] Fig. 22 is a side view of a base body 1100 ′ according to another embodiment. Fig.23 yes Fig. 22 A front view of the seat body 1100' is shown in FIG. Fig. 22 and Fig.23 .

[0102] In addition to the components described below, the housing 1100' includes the same components as those described above. Figures 4 to 21All the components described are the same as those included in the seat body 1100 according to the aforementioned embodiment. The seat body 1100' has an attachment body 1111'. The attachment body 1111' includes a first protruding portion 1140' forming a front end portion of the attachment body 1111'. When the angler grasps the attachment body 1111' of the seat body, the palm of the angler can contact the first protruding portion 1140'. The first protruding portion 1140' is formed in the circumferential direction CD of the central axis CA. The first protruding portion 1140' has a first outer peripheral surface 1141'. The first protruding portion 1140' has a first radius 1141R'. The first radius 1141R' is defined as the distance from the central axis CA to the first outer peripheral surface 1141'. The attachment body 1111' also includes a pair of inclined protruding portions 1144. The pair of inclined protruding portions 1144 are located on opposite sides of the first protruding portion 1140 relative to the central axis CA. The pair of inclined protrusions 1144 are provided adjacent to the movable cover (eg, Figure 4 The movable cover portion (e.g., Figure 4 A pair of inclined protrusions 1144 are formed from the placement portion 1121' (eg, Figure 4 The placement portion 1121 in the first hole 1114 protrudes upward. Each of the pair of inclined protrusions 1144 has an inclined protrusion height 1144H. The inclined protrusion height 1144H is defined as the distance from the placement portion 1121' to the vertex of each inclined protrusion portion 1144. The inclined protrusion height 1144H can have a range of 0.06 to 0.10 times the first radius 1141R'. In this regard, it is preferred that the radius 1114R' of the first hole 1114' is formed in the range of 6.0mm to 10.0mm. Fig.24 is a side view of a portion of a fishing rod according to one embodiment, showing an example of an angler gripping a reel seat when a reel is attached to a reel seat having a seat body according to another embodiment. Fig.24 .

[0103] according to Fig.24The reel seat 1000' of another embodiment shown is a so-called down-lock type reel seat, in which the movable cover portion 1240' is provided at the front side of the reel seat. The orientation of the components included in the reel seat 1000' can be understood by reversing the front-to-back orientation of the components of the reel seat according to the above-described embodiment. The reel seat 1000' is designed so that the length ratio and / or size ratio between the corresponding components included in the reel seat 1000' is within the above-described range. Therefore, the step difference between the leg of the reel 2300, the movable cover portion 1240' and the inclined protrusion 1144 of the attachment body 1111' can be reduced. Therefore, the fingers (e.g., Fig.24 The angler's index finger (in the middle) can comfortably grip the reel seat, and the angler can maintain a comfortable gripping feeling during fishing. The angler's thumb is positioned on the first protruding portion 1140' of the attachment body 1111', thereby facilitating a more comfortable grip of the reel seat 1000'.
