Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a fishing rod for mounting a fishing reel. Background Art

[0002] Sometimes there is a gap between the outer peripheral surface of the rod body of a fishing rod and the inner peripheral surface of the reel base. A cylindrical gasket is used to fill this gap. The gasket is installed between the rod body and the reel base. However, it is necessary to prepare a gasket corresponding to the outer diameter of the rod body or the inner diameter of the reel base. In addition, it is sometimes difficult to install the gasket due to the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the rod body or the shape of the inner peripheral surface of the reel base.

[0006] Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] An object of the present invention is to reduce the restrictions when mounting the reel base.

[0008] Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] A fishing rod according to a first aspect of the present invention is for mounting a fishing reel for fishing tackle. The fishing rod includes a rod body and a reel base. The rod body has a main body portion and a mounting portion. The main body portion includes a fiber-reinforced resin. The mounting portion is provided on the main body portion. The mounting portion includes an ultraviolet-curing resin. The fishing reel for fishing tackle is mounted on the reel base. The reel base is mounted on the mounting portion.

[0010] According to this structure, it is possible to form the mounting portion on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion using, for example, an inkjet molding machine. Therefore, it is possible to easily set the position, shape, or thickness of the mounting portion. For example, it is possible to easily set the thickness of the mounting portion according to the outer diameter of the rod body or the inner diameter of the reel base. In addition, it is also possible to easily make the mounting portion correspond to the shape of the outer peripheral surface of the rod body or the shape of the inner peripheral surface of the reel base. And, since the gap between the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion and the inner peripheral surface of the reel base can be eliminated by the mounting portion, other parts, i.e., gaskets, are not required, and the reel base can be firmly mounted on the mounting portion of the rod body.

[0011] In a fishing rod according to a second aspect of the first aspect of the present invention, the mounting portion has an axial convex portion. The axial convex portion extends in the axial direction of the main body portion. When forming the mounting portion using, for example, an inkjet molding machine, by relatively moving the print head of the inkjet molding machine in the axial direction of the main body portion, it is possible to easily form the mounting portion on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion.

[0012] In the fishing rod according to the third aspect of the second aspect of the present invention, the shape of the axial convex portion varies along the axial direction of the main body portion. It should be noted that the change in shape means that the width of the axial convex portion increases or decreases along the axial direction of the main body portion, or the height of the axial convex portion increases or decreases along the axial direction of the main body portion. According to this structure, it is possible to easily make the shape of the mounting portion correspond to the inner peripheral surface of the reel base.

[0013] In the fishing rod according to the fourth aspect of the second aspect or the third aspect of the present invention, the axial convex portion has at least two first axial convex portions and a second axial convex portion. The first axial convex portion and the second axial convex portion are arranged in the circumferential direction of the main body portion. According to this structure, since the first axial convex portion and the second axial convex portion are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the main body portion, it is possible to shorten the production time of the mounting portion and to lighten the weight of the mounting portion. In addition, the space between the first axial convex portion and the second axial convex portion can be used as an adhesive accumulation portion. When the space between the first axial convex portion and the second axial convex portion is used as an adhesive accumulation portion, the reel base can be more firmly bonded to the mounting portion.

[0014] In the fishing rod according to the fifth aspect of the fourth aspect of the present invention, the first axial convex portion and the second axial convex portion have different shapes from each other. According to this structure, it is possible to easily make the shape of the mounting portion correspond to the inner peripheral surface of the reel base.

[0015] In the fishing rod according to the sixth aspect of any one of the first aspect to the fifth aspect of the present invention, the mounting portion has a circumferential convex portion. The circumferential convex portion extends in the circumferential direction of the main body portion. When forming the mounting portion by using, for example, an inkjet molding machine, by relatively moving the print head of the inkjet molding machine along the circumferential direction of the main body portion, it is possible to easily form the mounting portion. For example, by rotating the rod main body in the circumferential direction of the main body portion, it is possible to relatively move the print head of the inkjet molding machine along the circumferential direction of the main body portion.

[0016] In the fishing rod according to the seventh aspect of the sixth aspect of the present invention, the shape of the circumferential convex portion varies along the circumferential direction of the main body portion. According to this structure, it is possible to easily make the shape of the mounting portion correspond to the inner peripheral surface of the reel base.

[0017] In the fishing rod according to the eighth aspect of the sixth or seventh aspect of the present invention, the circumferential convex portion has at least two first circumferential convex portions and a second circumferential convex portion. The first circumferential convex portion and the second circumferential convex portion are arranged in the axial direction of the main body portion. According to this structure, since the first circumferential convex portion and the second circumferential convex portion are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction of the main body portion, the manufacturing time of the mounting portion can be shortened and the mounting portion can be made lighter. In addition, the space between the first circumferential convex portion and the second circumferential convex portion can also be used as an adhesive accumulation portion. When the space between the first circumferential convex portion and the second circumferential convex portion is used as an adhesive accumulation portion, the reel base can be more firmly bonded to the mounting portion.

[0018] In the fishing rod according to the ninth aspect of the eighth aspect of the present invention, the first circumferential convex portion and the second circumferential convex portion have different shapes from each other. According to this structure, the shape of the mounting portion can be easily made to correspond to the inner circumferential surface of the reel base.

[0019] In the fishing rod according to the tenth aspect of any one of the first to ninth aspects of the present invention, the mounting portion has a spiral convex portion. The spiral convex portion extends in the spiral direction of the main body portion. The spiral direction is a direction that intersects the axial direction and the circumferential direction of the main body portion. When forming the mounting portion by using, for example, an inkjet molding machine, by relatively moving the print head of the inkjet molding machine in the axial direction of the main body portion and relatively moving it in the circumferential direction of the main body portion, the mounting portion can be easily formed on the outer circumferential surface of the main body portion. For example, by rotating the rod main body in the circumferential direction of the main body portion and moving the print head of the inkjet molding machine in the axial direction of the main body portion, the spiral convex portion can be formed.

[0020] In the fishing rod according to the eleventh aspect of the tenth aspect of the present invention, the shape of the spiral convex portion changes along the spiral direction of the main body portion. According to this structure, the shape of the mounting portion can be easily made to correspond to the inner circumferential surface of the reel base.

[0021] In the fishing rod according to the twelfth aspect of the tenth or eleventh aspect of the present invention, the spiral convex portion has a first spiral convex portion and a second spiral convex portion that cross each other. According to this structure, it is difficult for the reel base to rotate relative to the mounting portion in the circumferential direction of the main body portion. Therefore, the reel base can be firmly mounted on the mounting portion. In addition, the space between the first spiral convex portion and the second spiral convex portion can also be used as an adhesive accumulation portion. When it is set as an adhesive accumulation portion like this, the reel base can be more firmly bonded to the mounting portion.

[0022] In the fishing rod according to the thirteenth aspect of the twelfth aspect of the present invention, the first spiral convex portion and the second spiral convex portion have different shapes from each other. According to this structure, the shape of the mounting portion can be easily made to correspond to the inner circumferential surface of the reel base.

[0023] Effects of the Invention

[0024] As described above, since the rod main body is provided with a mounting portion including an ultraviolet curable resin, the reel base can be mounted on the rod main body without using a spacer as another component. In addition, the mounting portion can be easily formed corresponding to the reel base. Therefore, the limitations when mounting the reel base on the rod main body can be reduced.

[0037] <First Embodiment>

[0038] Figure 1 A fishing rod according to the first embodiment of the present invention is shown. A fishing tackle reel is mounted on the fishing rod. The type of the fishing rod can be arbitrary. It can be a telescopically collapsible rod, a jointed rod, or a so-called one-piece rod composed of a single rod body. It can be an externally guided type fishing rod or a through-tubing rod. The fishing tackle reel can be a double-bearing reel or a spinning reel. In the present embodiment, as an example, a fishing rod suitable for a double-bearing reel is shown. The double-bearing reel is located on the upper side of the fishing rod in the use state. It should be noted that the axial direction of the fishing rod is set as the front-rear direction, the tip side of the rod is set as the front side, and the butt side of the rod is set as the rear side. In addition, when the mounting portion 11 described later has a convex portion, the dimension in the length direction (extension direction) of the convex portion is referred to as "length", the dimension in the width direction of the convex portion is referred to as "width", and the dimension of the convex portion in the radial direction of the fishing rod (projection amount) is referred to as "thickness". It should be noted that the circumferential direction of the fishing rod is simply referred to as "circumferential direction".

[0039] The fishing rod includes a rod main body 1 and a reel base 2. In Figure 1 it, the reel base 2 is shown by a double-dot chain line. It should be noted that in Figure 1In the figure, only the spool base body 3 in the spool base 2 is shown. The spool base body 3 is cylindrical and is a so-called tubular seat. The spool base 2 includes the spool base body 3, a fixed cover, and a movable cover and a fixing nut (not shown). The fixed cover 4 is integrally formed with the spool base body 3. The fixed cover 4 is provided on the upper surface of the spool base body 3 and holds the rear end portion of the spool foot of the spool. The movable cover is mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the spool base body 3. The movable cover is cylindrical. The movable cover is located at a position away from the front side of the fixed cover 4 and holds the front end portion of the spool foot. The spool foot is clamped front and rear by the movable cover and the fixed cover 4. An external thread portion (not shown) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the spool base body 3, and the fixing nut is screwed onto the external thread portion. The fixing nut is located on the front side of the movable cover and moves the movable cover back and forth. In addition, the spool base body 3 has a trigger 5 on the lower surface for a finger to hook.

[0040] The rod body 1 includes a main body portion 10 and a mounting portion 11. The main body portion 10 is a so-called rod blank. The main body portion 10 is made of fiber-reinforced resin and is cylindrical, that is, it can be hollow or solid. In the present embodiment, the main body portion 10 is hollow. The reinforcing fiber of the main body portion 10 is, for example, carbon fiber.

[0041] The mounting portion 11 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the main body portion 10. The mounting portion 11 is provided only at a specified portion in the entire length of the main body portion 10. The spool base 2 is mounted on the mounting portion 11. Specifically, the spool base body 3 is adhesively fixed to the mounting portion 11. Therefore, the mounting portion 11 is formed at a portion in the entire length of the main body portion 10 where the spool base 2 is to be mounted. The length of the mounting portion 11 corresponds to the length of the spool base 2, specifically, corresponds to the length of the spool base body 3.

[0042] The mounting portion 11 is formed to fill the gap between the inner peripheral surface 2a of the spool base 2 (spool base body 3) and the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10. The shape or configuration of the mounting portion 11 is arbitrary. For example, it can be provided over the entire length of the mounting portion of the spool base 2 in the main body portion 10, or can be provided only at a part of the entire length of the mounting portion of the spool base 2 in the main body portion 10. In addition, it can be provided over the entire circumference of the mounting portion of the spool base 2 in the main body portion 10, or can be provided only at a part of the entire circumference of the mounting portion of the spool base 2 in the main body portion 10.

[0043] Preferably, the mounting portion 11 has a convex portion. Specifically, the mounting portion 11 has a ridge that is long in a specified direction. In the present embodiment, the mounting portion 11 has a plurality of axial convex portions 20 that extend linearly in the front-rear direction. The axial convex portions 20 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. The axial convex portions 20 project radially outward from the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10. The number of the axial convex portions 20 is arbitrary, but in the present embodiment, it is four and they are arranged at 90-degree intervals. That is, the axial convex portions 20 include a first axial convex portion 21, a second axial convex portion 22, a third axial convex portion 23, and a fourth axial convex portion 24. The first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are arranged at equal intervals and are arranged every 90 degrees.

[0044] The first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are all of the same shape, and their lengths, widths, and thicknesses are all the same. The widths of the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are fixed and the thicknesses are fixed. The first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are formed over the entire length of the corresponding range of the reel base 2.

[0045] It should be noted that the portion of the mounting portion of the reel base 2 where the mounting portion 11 is not provided is formed as a relative concave portion that is recessed radially inward relative to the mounting portion 11. That is, the mounting portion 11 is not provided between the first axial convex portion 21 and the second axial convex portion 22 in the circumferential direction, between the second axial convex portion 22 and the third axial convex portion 23 in the circumferential direction, between the third axial convex portion 23 and the fourth axial convex portion 24 in the circumferential direction, and between the fourth axial convex portion 24 and the first axial convex portion 21 in the circumferential direction. Therefore, relative concave portions are formed between the first axial convex portion 21 and the second axial convex portion 22 in the circumferential direction, between the second axial convex portion 22 and the third axial convex portion 23 in the circumferential direction, between the third axial convex portion 23 and the fourth axial convex portion 24 in the circumferential direction, and between the fourth axial convex portion 24 and the first axial convex portion 21 in the circumferential direction. At the stage before the reel base 2 is mounted, the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10 is exposed at the relative concave portions.

[0046] The arrangements of the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are arbitrary. However, preferably, the first axial convex portion 21 is arranged at the uppermost part of the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10. The second axial convex portion 22 and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are respectively arranged at the left and right side portions of the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10, and are provided opposite to each other at 180 degrees. The third axial convex portion 23 is arranged at the lowermost part of the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10, and is provided opposite to the first axial convex portion 21 at 180 degrees. In other words, the first axial convex portion 21 is arranged on the upper surface of the main body portion 10, the second axial convex portion 22 and the third axial convex portion 23 are arranged on the left and right side surfaces of the main body portion 10, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 is arranged on the lower surface of the main body portion 10. By arranging the first axial convex portion 21 on the upper surface of the main body portion 10, particularly at the uppermost part, the fixed reel foot can be stabilized by the movable cover and the fixed cover 4, and thus the reel can be stabilized. In addition, by arranging the third axial convex portion 23 on the lower surface of the main body portion 10, particularly at the lowermost part, the trigger 5 can be stabilized. Further, by arranging the second axial convex portion 22 and the fourth axial convex portion 24 on the left and right side surfaces of the main body portion 10 respectively, the reel base 2 is difficult to shake left and right.

[0047] As Figure 1 (b) shows, the inner peripheral surface 2a of the reel base 2 is bonded to the outer surfaces (radial outer surfaces) of the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 2(a), a first bonding portion 31 is provided between the outer surfaces of the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 and the inner peripheral surface 2a of the reel base 2. The first bonding portion 31 includes an adhesive that bonds the inner peripheral surface 2a of the reel base 2 to the outer surface of the mounting portion 11. In addition, a space 33 is formed between the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10 and the inner peripheral surface 2a of the reel base 2 between the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 in the circumferential direction. This space 33 can be used as an adhesive accumulation place. Fig. 2(b) shows the case where the space 33 is used as an adhesive accumulation place. In this case, a second bonding portion 32 is provided in the space 33. The second bonding portion 32 includes an adhesive that bonds the inner peripheral surface 2a of the reel base 2 to the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10. The second bonding portion 32 fills the space 33. The second bonding portion 32 is continuously provided with the first bonding portion 31.

[0048] The mounting portion 11 can be formed using, for example, an inkjet molding machine (printer) or a dispenser. Figure 3Among them, as an example, the outline of an inkjet molding machine is shown. The inkjet molding machine includes: an ink cartridge 100 that stores an ink coating material; and a print head 101 that applies the ink coating material supplied from the ink cartridge 100 to an object. The basic colored inks are cyan-based, magenta-based, yellow-based, and black-based inks. However, if necessary, white or silver can also be used. The print head 101 is provided with a plurality of ejection nozzles that supply the cyan-based, magenta-based, yellow-based, and black-based inks in the form of droplets. Each ejection nozzle is provided with a plurality of ejection holes. In addition, the inkjet molding machine includes a heating medium. The heating medium receives operation information from a control mechanism (not shown), quickly heats the ink, causes it to be dropletized, and ejects it through bubbles. This method is called the thermal inkjet method. However, the piezoelectric method can also be adopted. Further, the inkjet molding machine includes an ultraviolet irradiation device 102. The rod body 1 is mounted on the mandrel 103. And the print head 101 is moved along the axis of the mandrel 103. The coating method can be a multi-path method. In the multi-path method, the print head 101 does not perform coating in a single pass, but moves to the same position multiple times to perform coating. The number of passes is arbitrary. By rotating the mandrel 103 around this axis, the rod body 1 can be rotated together with the mandrel 103.

[0049] By ejecting droplets of UV ink from the ejection nozzles and irradiating ultraviolet rays from the ultraviolet irradiation device 102, the ink is hardened and fixed. By adjusting the viscosity of the UV ink, the time period from when the ejected ink droplets adhere until ultraviolet irradiation, and the amount of ultraviolet light, the shape or thickness of the mounting portion 11 can be adjusted. The UV ink can be a photopolymerizable type and contain a resin that hardens through ultraviolet rays. The ultraviolet-curable resin can be various free-radical polymerization resins, or various oligomers or monomers.

[0050] <Second Embodiment>

[0051] Figure 4 shows the main part of the fishing rod according to the second embodiment. In the above-described first embodiment, the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are continuous in the front-rear direction. However, in the present embodiment, the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are formed in a structure that is cut off and discontinuous in the front-rear direction. The number of cuts is arbitrary, and in the present embodiment, it is two. However, the number of cuts can be three or more. In this way, the axial convex portion 20 may not be continuous in the front-rear direction and may be discontinuous in the front-rear direction. That is, the axial convex portion 20 may be provided in segments in the front-rear direction. It should be noted that multiple axial convex portions 20 may all be discontinuous in the front-rear direction, or only a part of the multiple axial convex portions 20 may have a shape that is discontinuous in the front-rear direction. In addition, among the multiple axial convex portions 20, the number of cuts may be the same as each other or may be different from each other.

[0052] <Third Embodiment>

[0053] Figure 5(a) shows the main part of the fishing rod according to the third embodiment. Figure 5(a) only shows the axial convex portion 20. In the above-described first and second embodiments, the width of the axial convex portion 20 is fixed along the front-rear direction. However, in the present embodiment, the width of the axial convex portion 20 changes along the front-rear direction. Figure 5(a) shows an example. The width of the first axial convex portion 21 becomes larger toward the rear side. The first axial convex portion 21 is triangular. Specifically, it is an isosceles triangle with the front end as the vertex and the rear end as the base. The width of the second axial convex portion 22 adjacent to the first axial convex portion 21 is opposite to that of the first axial convex portion 21, and it becomes smaller toward the rear side. The second axial convex portion 22 is the same as the first axial convex portion 21, being triangular, but it is an isosceles triangle with the front end as the base and the rear end as the vertex. In this way, the width of the axial convex portion 20 may become larger or smaller along the front-rear direction. The width of the axial convex portion 20 may also be expanded to half of the front-rear direction and then reduced.

[0054] <Fourth Embodiment>

[0055] Figure 5(b) shows the main part of the fishing rod according to the fourth embodiment. In the above-described embodiments, the thickness of the axial convex portion 20 is fixed along the front-rear direction. However, in the present embodiment, the thickness of the axial convex portion 20 changes along the front-rear direction. Figure 5(b) shows an example. The thickness of the first axial convex portion 21 increases toward the rear side. The second axial convex portion 22 is arranged opposite to the first axial convex portion 21 at 180 degrees. The thickness of the second axial convex portion 22 is opposite to that of the first axial convex portion 21, and it decreases toward the rear side. In this way, the thickness of the axial convex portion 20 may increase or decrease along the front-rear direction. The thickness of the axial convex portion 20 may also increase to half of the front-rear direction and then decrease.

[0056] <Fifth Embodiment>

[0057] Figure 6 shows the main part of the fishing rod in the fifth embodiment. In the mounting portion 11 of the present embodiment, there is a circumferential convex portion 40 extending in the circumferential direction of the main body portion 10. The circumferential convex portions 40 are provided at multiple locations at intervals in the front-rear direction. The number of the circumferential convex portions 40 is arbitrary, but in the present embodiment, as shown in Fig. 6(a), there are five. That is, the mounting portion 11 has a first circumferential convex portion 41, a second circumferential convex portion 42, a third circumferential convex portion 43, a fourth circumferential convex portion 44, and a fifth circumferential convex portion 45. The first circumferential convex portion 41, the second circumferential convex portion 42, the third circumferential convex portion 43, the fourth circumferential convex portion 44, and the fifth circumferential convex portion 45 are all of the same shape, and their lengths, widths, and thicknesses in the circumferential direction are the same. That is, the widths and thicknesses of the first circumferential convex portion 41, the second circumferential convex portion 42, the third circumferential convex portion 43, the fourth circumferential convex portion 44, and the fifth circumferential convex portion 45 are fixed. As shown in Fig. 6(b), the first circumferential convex portion 41, the second circumferential convex portion 42, the third circumferential convex portion 43, the fourth circumferential convex portion 44, and the fifth circumferential convex portion 45 are continuously formed over the entire circumference of the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10, and thus, the first circumferential convex portion 41, the second circumferential convex portion 42, the third circumferential convex portion 43, the fourth circumferential convex portion 44, and the fifth circumferential convex portion 45 are annular.

[0058] <Sixth Embodiment>

[0059] Fig. 7(a) shows the main part of the fishing rod in the sixth embodiment. In the above fifth embodiment, the width of the circumferential convex portion 40 is fixed along the circumferential direction, but in the present embodiment, the width of the circumferential convex portion 40 varies along the circumferential direction. As an example, the width of the first circumferential convex portion 41 is the smallest at the uppermost part and the largest at the lowermost part, and gradually increases from the uppermost part toward the lowermost part. The width of the second circumferential convex portion 42 adjacent to the first circumferential convex portion 41 is opposite to that of the first circumferential convex portion 41. Its width is the largest at the uppermost part and the smallest at the lowermost part, and decreases from the uppermost part toward the lowermost part. In this way, the width of the circumferential convex portion 40 can increase or decrease along the circumferential direction.

[0060] <Seventh Embodiment>

[0061] Fig. 7(b) shows the main part of the fishing rod in the seventh embodiment. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 varies along the circumferential direction. As an example, the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 is the largest at the uppermost part and the lowermost part, and the smallest at the left and right side portions. In this way, the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 can increase or decrease along the circumferential direction.

[0062] It should be noted that when the inner circumferential surface 2a of the spool base 2 is circular, as shown in Fig. 6(b), it is preferable that the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 is fixed along the circumferential direction. On the other hand, when the inner circumferential surface 2a of the spool base 2 is non-circular, it is preferable that the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 varies along the circumferential direction. For example, in the case shown in Fig. 7(b), the inner circumferential surface 2a of the spool base 2 can be easily made to correspond to an ellipse that is longer in the vertical direction.

[0063] <Eighth Embodiment>

[0064] Fig. 8 shows the main part of the fishing rod in the eighth embodiment. In the above fifth to seventh embodiments, the circumferential convex portion 40 is continuous on the entire circumference of the outer circumferential surface 10a of the main body portion 10. However, in this embodiment, the circumferential convex portion 40 has a structure that is cut off and discontinuous in the vertical direction. The number of cuts is arbitrary, and in this embodiment, it is two. However, the number of cuts can be three or more. In this way, the circumferential convex portion 40 does not have to be annular and can be provided in segments in the circumferential direction. In addition, it can be that only one part of the entire circumference is discontinuous, and the discontinuous parts can be multiple or one. It should be noted that multiple circumferential convex portions 40 can all be discontinuous, or only a part of the multiple circumferential convex portions 40 can have a discontinuous shape.

[0065] It should be noted that the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 can be fixed along the circumferential direction as shown in Fig. 8(b), or can vary in the circumferential direction as shown in Fig. 8(c). As shown in Fig. 8(b), when the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 is fixed along the circumferential direction, the first center 12a of the imaginary circle 12 defined by the outer surface of the circumferential convex portion 40 coincides with the second center 10b of the outer circumferential surface 10a of the main body portion 10. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 8(c), when the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 varies in the circumferential direction, the first center 12a and the second center 10b do not coincide and are displaced. Therefore, the spool base 2 can be made eccentric with respect to the rod main body 1 in a specified radial direction. In addition, by making the thickness of the circumferential convex portion 40 vary in the circumferential direction, the inner circumferential surface 2a of the spool base 2 can be easily made to correspond to a shape that is longer in the left-right direction, such as an ellipse.

[0066] <Ninth Embodiment>

[0067] Figs. 9(a) and 9(b) show the main part of the fishing rod in the ninth embodiment. The mounting portion 11 in this embodiment has a spiral convex portion 50 extending in the spiral direction of the main body portion 10. The spiral direction of the spiral convex portion 50 intersects the front-rear direction and the circumferential direction. That is, the spiral direction is a direction inclined with respect to the front-rear direction and the circumferential direction. The orientation of rotation, lead, or pitch, etc. in the spiral direction is arbitrary. Regarding the orientation of rotation of the spiral, in Fig. 9(a), when viewed from the front side to the rear side (right side of the paper), it is counterclockwise rotation, and in Fig. 9(b), when viewed from the front side to the rear side, it is clockwise rotation. In addition, in Fig. 9(a), a narrower pitch and lead are shown, and in Fig. 9(b), a wider pitch and lead are shown. Thus, the pitch or lead of the spiral can be various. Further, the spiral convex portion 50 shown in Figs. 9(a) and 9(b) is one. Therefore, the spiral convex portion 50 has a structure of a single thread. Furthermore, the number of turns (number of thread peaks) of the spiral of the spiral convex portion 50 is also arbitrary. For example, in the spiral convex portion 50 shown in Fig. 9(b), the number of turns is two and a half turns.

[0068] <Tenth Embodiment>

[0069] Fig. 9(c) shows the main part of the fishing rod in the tenth embodiment. In the ninth embodiment shown in Figs. 9(a) and 9(b), the spiral convex portion 50 is one, but the spiral convex portion 50 can be multiple. As an example, Fig. 9(c) shows a structure in which the spiral convex portion 50 is two. That is, the spiral convex portion 50 has a first spiral convex portion 51 and a second spiral convex portion 52. When viewed from the front side toward the rear side, the orientation of rotation of the spiral of both the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 is counterclockwise rotation and is the same as each other. On the other hand, the phases of the spirals of the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 deviate from each other by 180 degrees. That is, in this embodiment, the spiral convex portion 50 has a structure of two threads. Thus, the spiral convex portion 50 can have a structure of multiple threads instead of a single thread.

[0070] <Eleventh Embodiment>

[0071] Figure 10(a) shows the main part of the fishing rod in the eleventh embodiment. In the tenth embodiment shown in Fig. 9(c), the spiral convex portion 50 has a structure of two threads, and the rotation directions of the spirals of the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 are the same as each other. However, in the present embodiment, the rotation directions of the spirals of the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 are different from each other. That is, when viewed from the front side to the rear side, the rotation direction of the spiral of the first spiral convex portion 51 is counterclockwise rotation, and when viewed from the front side to the rear side, the rotation direction of the spiral of the second spiral convex portion 52 is clockwise rotation. In this way, since the rotation directions of the spirals of the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 are opposite to each other, a first crossing portion 61 formed by the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 crossing each other is formed. In the present embodiment, the first crossing portions 61 are alternately formed at positions opposite to each other by 180 degrees in the front-rear direction. Therefore, for example, the first crossing portions 61 are provided on the left and right side portions of the main body portion 10, or are provided at the uppermost portion and the lowermost portion.

[0072] <Twelfth Embodiment>

[0073] Figure 10(b) shows the main part of the fishing rod in the twelfth embodiment. In the present embodiment, in addition to the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 in the above-mentioned eleventh embodiment, a third spiral convex portion 53 and a fourth spiral convex portion 54 are also provided. The rotation direction of the spiral of the third spiral convex portion 53 is the same as the rotation direction of the spiral of the first spiral convex portion 51, and its phase is deviated from that of the first spiral convex portion 51 by 180 degrees. The rotation direction of the spiral of the fourth spiral convex portion 54 is the same as the rotation direction of the spiral of the second spiral convex portion 52, and its phase is deviated from that of the second spiral convex portion 52 by 180 degrees. In the present embodiment, in addition to the first crossing portion 61, a second crossing portion 62 formed by the third spiral convex portion 53 and the fourth spiral convex portion 54 crossing each other is formed. Further, a third crossing portion 63 formed by the second spiral convex portion 52 and the third spiral convex portion 53 crossing each other is formed, and a fourth crossing portion 64 formed by the first spiral convex portion 51 and the fourth spiral convex portion 54 crossing each other is formed.

[0074] For example, the uppermost part and the lowermost part of the main body portion 10 are respectively formed with a third crossing portion 63 and a fourth crossing portion 64 alternately in the front-rear direction. A fourth crossing portion 64 is provided at the lowermost part of the main body portion 10 corresponding to the third crossing portion 63 at the uppermost part of the main body portion 10, and a third crossing portion 63 is provided at the lowermost part of the main body portion 10 corresponding to the fourth crossing portion 64 at the uppermost part of the main body portion 10. In addition, a first crossing portion 61 and a second crossing portion 62 are alternately formed in the front-rear direction on the left and right sides of the main body portion 10 respectively. A second crossing portion 62 is provided at the right side portion of the main body portion 10 corresponding to the first crossing portion 61 at the left side portion of the main body portion 10, and a first crossing portion 61 is provided at the right side portion of the main body portion 10 corresponding to the second crossing portion 62 at the left side portion of the main body portion 10.

[0075] <The Thirteenth Embodiment>

[0076] FIG. 10(c) shows the main part of the fishing rod in the thirteenth embodiment. In the present embodiment, the mounting portion 11 has an axial convex portion 20, a circumferential convex portion 40, and a spiral convex portion 50, and the axial convex portion 20, the circumferential convex portion 40, and the spiral convex portion 50 are all formed in a discontinuous structure. Specifically, in the above-described twelfth embodiment, the first spiral convex portion 51, the second spiral convex portion 52, the third spiral convex portion 53, and the fourth spiral convex portion 54 continuously extend along the spiral direction, but in the present embodiment, the first spiral convex portion 51, the second spiral convex portion 52, the third spiral convex portion 53, and the fourth spiral convex portion 54 are arranged to be discontinuous along the spiral direction. And, at the positions of the first crossing portion 61 and the second crossing portion 62 in the twelfth embodiment, a circumferential convex portion 40 having a specified length is provided in the circumferential direction to replace the first crossing portion 61 and the second crossing portion 62. In addition, at the positions of the third crossing portion 63 and the fourth crossing portion 64 in the twelfth embodiment, an axial convex portion 20 having a specified length is provided in the front-rear direction to replace the third crossing portion 63 and the fourth crossing portion 64. In this way, through the discontinuous axial convex portion 20, the circumferential convex portion 40, and the spiral convex portion 50, the mounting portion 11 having an octagonal pattern can be formed. The octagonal pattern can be a regular octagon, and in addition, it can also be an octagon that is longer in the front-rear direction or the circumferential direction. In this way, since the mounting portion 11 can be made into a honeycomb structure, it is possible to achieve weight reduction, and it is possible to stably support the reel base 2 from the radially inner side, and in addition, the reel base 2 can be firmly mounted on the rod main body 1.

[0077] <The Fourteenth Embodiment>

[0078] Figure 11Shows the main part of the fishing rod in the fourteenth embodiment. This embodiment is a modified example of the eleventh embodiment shown in Fig. 10(a). That is, in the above-mentioned eleventh embodiment, the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 are formed to have the same width, but in this embodiment, the widths of the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 are different from each other. Figure 11 Shows an example where the width of the first spiral convex portion 51 is wider than the width of the second spiral convex portion 52. In this way, the first spiral convex portion 51 and the second spiral convex portion 52 can have different widths from each other, or can have different heights from each other.

[0079] <Fifteenth Embodiment>

[0080] Figure 12 Shows the main part of the fishing rod in the fifteenth embodiment. This embodiment is Figure 1 a modified example of the first embodiment shown in (b). That is, in the above-mentioned first embodiment, the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are all formed to have the same height, but in this embodiment, the heights of the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 are different from each other. Figure 12 Shows an example where the height of the second axial convex portion 22 is the lowest, the heights of the first axial convex portion 21 and the third axial convex portion 23 are intermediate heights, and further, the height of the fourth axial convex portion 24 is the highest. That is, the height increases in the order of the second axial convex portion 22, the first axial convex portion 21 and the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24. In this case, the first center 12a of the imaginary circle 12 defined by the outer surfaces of the first axial convex portion 21, the second axial convex portion 22, the third axial convex portion 23, and the fourth axial convex portion 24 is displaced with respect to the second center 10b of the outer peripheral surface 10a of the main body portion 10. Therefore, it is possible to make the reel base 2 eccentric with respect to the rod main body 1 in a specified direction in the radial direction.
