Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] However, in the fishing rod of Patent Document 1, since it has a structure in which one rod shaft is inserted through the reel seat and moreover, the reel seat and the rod shaft are integrally adhered with an adhesive, there is a problem that customization such as a preferred design or replacement of the rear rod shaft cannot be performed.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a fishing rod that can be replaced with rear rod shafts of different lengths and thicknesses and has excellent customization properties.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a fishing rod comprising a front rod, a rear rod, and a cylindrical reel seat. The rear portion of the front rod is adhered to the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat with an adhesive, and the front portion of the rear rod is attachable and detachable with respect to the rear portion of the front rod or the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat.

[0007] In the present invention, rear rods of different lengths and thicknesses can be replaced with respect to the rear portion of the front rod or the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat. Therefore, the fishing rod has excellent customization. Further, since the rear rod is attached to the rear portion of the front rod or the reel seat inside the reel seat, the joint portion is not exposed outside, and steps or the like generated by the joint do not touch the fingers that hold it. Therefore, it is also excellent in fishing operability and design.

[0008] Also, in the configuration where the front portion of the rear rod is attachable and detachable with respect to the rear portion of the front rod, it is preferable that the front portion of the rear rod is joined to the rear portion of the front rod by an inlay joint structure or a butt joint structure.

[0009] In this configuration, the front portion of the rear rod can be directly attached to the rear portion of the front rod inside the reel seat, so that the strength of the fishing rod can be improved. Further, since vibration is transmitted from the front rod to the rear rod by the inlay joint structure or the butt joint structure, the sensitivity during actual fishing is good.

[0010] Also, it is preferable that the outer diameters of the rear portion of the front rod and the front portion of the rear rod are different from each other.

[0011] In this configuration, variations can be provided in the structure that allows the front portion of the rear rod to be attachable and detachable with respect to the rear portion of the front rod or the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat, and the appearance (design) of the portion exposed behind the reel seat can also be changed. Thereby, it is possible to easily customize the fishing rod to a preferred one with a simple operation of replacing the rear rod with another form.

[0012] Also, in the configuration where the front part of the rear rod is attachable and detachable to the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat, a protrusion protruding radially inward is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat, and it is preferable that the rear part of the front rod and the front part of the rear rod are in contact with the protrusion.

[0013] In this configuration, the rear part of the front rod can be adhered to the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat by being applied to the protrusion. Also, since the front part of the rear rod can be attached to the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat by being applied to the protrusion, the work of assembling the front rod and the rear rod to the reel seat is easy. Therefore, the productivity and assemblability of the fishing rod can be improved.

[0014] Also, it is preferable that the rear part of the front rod and the front part of the rear rod have an enlarged diameter to a size corresponding to the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat.

[0015] In this configuration, even when the outer diameter of the front rod and the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat are different, the rear part of the front rod can be directly adhered to the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat. Also, the front part of the rear rod can be directly attached to the rear part of the front rod or the inner peripheral surface of the reel seat. As a result, there is no need to interpose a spacer or the like for fixing the reel seat and the rod, and the number of parts can be reduced and the weight can be reduced. Also, since the adhesion process of a spacer or the like can be eliminated, the assembly time can be shortened and the cost can be reduced. Also, since vibration is directly transmitted from the front rod to the reel seat, the sensitivity during actual fishing is good.

Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the fishing rod of the present invention, it is possible to replace the rear rod with different lengths and thicknesses, and it is possible to provide a fishing rod with excellent customization.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Next, embodiments of the fishing rod of the present invention will be described in detail with appropriate reference to the drawings. In the following description, "front" means the tip side, and "rear" means the butt side. In each embodiment, the same members may be omitted in terms of reference numerals and explanations. Note that the cross-sectional views in each embodiment are schematic diagrams, and the sizes, shapes, etc. of each part are appropriately simplified for easy understanding.

[0019] (First Embodiment) FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing the main part of a fishing rod 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the fishing rod 1 includes a front rod 10, a rear rod 20, and a cylindrical reel seat 30. The front rod 10 is directly adhered to the cylindrical inner peripheral surface 35 formed in the reel seat 30 by an adhesive. The rear rod 20 is joined to the rear part of the front rod 10 by an inlay joint structure inside the reel seat 30.

[0020] The front rod 10 and the rear rod 20 are configured as tubular bodies (hollow bodies) made of fiber-reinforced resin. The front rod 10 and the rear rod 20 are formed, for example, by winding a fiber-reinforced resin prepreg (prepreg sheet) in which reinforcing fibers (mainly carbon fibers, glass fibers, etc.) are impregnated with a synthetic resin such as an epoxy resin around a mandrel, and then undergoing a process of removing the mandrel after a heating process.

[0021] The front rod 10 includes a front rod main body portion 11 and a rear portion 12 continuous with the rear end portion of the front rod main body portion 11. The rear rod 20 includes a rear rod main body portion 21 and a front portion 22 continuous with the front end portion of the rear rod main body portion 21. The rear portion 12 of the front rod 10 and the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20 are expanded in diameter to an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30.

[0022] The front rod main body portion 11 is a cylindrical rod portion having a small diameter throughout the axial direction, and has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30. The rear portion 12 includes a first inclined portion 13 continuous with the rear end portion of the front rod main body portion 11 and a first large-diameter portion 14 continuous with the rear end portion 13a of the first inclined portion 13. The first inclined portion 13 has a funnel shape (substantially conical shape) in which the outer shape and the inner shape gradually expand rearward. The outer diameter of the front end portion of the first inclined portion 13 corresponds to the outer diameter of the front rod main body portion 11, and the outer diameter of the rear end portion 13a of the first inclined portion 13 corresponds to the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30. The rear end portion 13a of the first inclined portion 13 is located radially inside the front end surface 30a of the reel sheet 30. As a result, the first inclined portion 13 is exposed in front of the reel sheet 30.

[0023] The first large-diameter portion 14 is a cylindrical rod portion having a large diameter throughout the axial direction, and has an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30. The first large-diameter portion 14 is adhered to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30 with an adhesive. An annular member 40 for inlay joint is pre-adhered to the inner surface of the rear end portion 14a of the first large-diameter portion 14 with an adhesive.

[0024] The rear rod body part 21 of the rear rod 20 is a cylindrical rod part with a small diameter throughout the axial direction. Similar to the front rod body part 11, it has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30. The front part 22 includes a second inclined part 23 continuous with the front end part of the rear rod body part 21 and a second large-diameter part 24 continuous with the front end part 23a of the second inclined part 23. The second inclined part 23 has a funnel shape (substantially conical shape) that gradually expands toward the front. The outer diameter of the rear end part of the second inclined part 23 corresponds to the outer diameter of the rear rod body part 21, and the outer diameter of the front end part 23a of the second inclined part 23 corresponds to the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30. The front end part 23a of the second inclined part 23 is located radially inside the rear end surface 30b of the reel seat 30. Thereby, the second inclined part 23 is exposed behind the reel seat 30.

[0025] The second large-diameter part 24 is a cylindrical rod part with a large diameter throughout the axial direction and has an outer diameter that can be press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30. Thereby, rattling of the second large-diameter part 24 with respect to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30 is suppressed. The front end part 24a of the second large-diameter part 24 is externally fitted to the rear outer surface of the annular member 40 so as to be attachable and detachable. With such an inlay joint structure, the front part 22 of the rear rod 20 is joined to the rear part 12 of the front rod 10. Thereby, the front rod 10 and the rear rod 20 are integrally connected inside the reel seat 30.

[0026] Such a rear rod 20 can be replaced with rear rods 20 (not shown) of different lengths and thicknesses. That is, by preparing a plurality of types of rear rods 20 (not shown) of different lengths and thicknesses, it is possible to customize the fishing rod 1 according to the fishing species, the conditions of the fishing ground, etc. to suit one's preference. When replacing the rear rod 20, the joint can be released by pulling the rear rod 20 backward with respect to the reel seat 30, so the replacement work is easy.

[0027] Note that the annular member 40 may be configured to be pre - adhered to the inner surface of the front end portion 24a of the second large - diameter portion 24 with an adhesive. In this case, the outer surface of the front portion of the annular member 40 is fitted removably into the inner surface of the rear end portion 14a of the first large - diameter portion 14.

[0028] The reel seat 30 is a member for attaching the attachment leg portions of a fishing reel (not shown). Also, the reel seat 30 functions as a member for fixing the front rod 10 and the rear rod 20, and the front rod 10 and the rear rod 20 are integrally formed via the reel seat 30. The inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30 is a cylindrical surface that is made large - diameter over the entire axial direction, and has an inner diameter into which the first large - diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10 and the second large - diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20 are inserted.

[0029] When assembling the fishing rod 1 as described above, the front rod 10 is adhered to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30 with an adhesive. In this case, an adhesive is applied to the outer peripheral surface of the first large - diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10 and the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30, and the first large - diameter portion 14 is inserted into the inner peripheral surface 35 from the front of the reel seat 30 to a predetermined position. Then, after the adhesive has hardened, the second large - diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20 is inserted into the inner peripheral surface 35 from the rear of the reel seat 30 and is externally fitted to the rear outer surface of the annular member 40 of the front rod 10. Thereby, the fishing rod 1 with the front rod 10 and the rear rod 20 attached to the reel seat 30 is assembled.

[0030] Note that the joining position (inro - joining position) of the front rod 10 and the rear rod 20 is not limited to the central portion in the axial direction of the inner peripheral surface 35, and may be set by shifting to other positions in the axial direction.

[0031] According to the fishing rod 1 of the present embodiment described above, the rear rod 20 with different lengths and thicknesses can be replaced with respect to the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10. Therefore, the fishing rod 1 has excellent customizability. In this way, by making it possible to replace the rear rod 20, an optimal fishing rod 1 corresponding to the target fish, fishing method, fishing ground conditions, etc. can be obtained. In addition, since it is sufficient to prepare a plurality of types of rear rods 20 with different specifications, it is less expensive than the case of preparing a plurality of types of fishing rods themselves, and also contributes to reducing the product purchase amount of the user.

[0032] Further, since the rear rod 20 is attached to the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10 inside the reel seat 30, the joint portion is not exposed to the outside, and steps or the like generated by the joint do not touch the fingers that hold it. Therefore, it is also excellent in fishing operability and design.

[0033] In addition, the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10 and the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20 are enlarged in diameter to a size corresponding to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30. Thereby, even when the outer diameter of the front rod 10 (the outer diameter of the front rod main body 11) and the inner diameter of the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30 are different, the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10 can be directly adhered to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30. In addition, the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20 can be directly attached to the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10. As a result, it is not necessary to interpose a spacer or the like for fixing the reel seat 30 and the rod, and the number of parts can be reduced and the weight can be reduced. In addition, since the bonding process of a spacer or the like can be eliminated, the assembly time can be shortened and the cost can be reduced. In addition, since vibration is directly transmitted from the front rod 10 to the reel seat 30, the sensitivity during actual fishing is good.

[0034] (Second Embodiment) Next, the fishing rod 1A of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the fishing rod 1A according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a butt joint structure is adopted as the joint structure.

[0035] As shown in Fig. 2, the rear end portion 14a of the first large-diameter portion 14 is formed in a stepped cylindrical shape with a reduced diameter so as to have a butt joint structure. The front end portion 24a of the second large-diameter portion 24 is externally fitted to the rear end portion 14a of the first large-diameter portion 14 in a detachable manner. With such a butt joint structure, the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10A and the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20A are joined together.

[0036] Also in this embodiment, the second large-diameter portion 24 is a cylindrical rod portion having a large diameter over the entire axial direction, and has an outer diameter that can be press-fitted into the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30. Thereby, the rattling of the second large-diameter portion 24 with respect to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30 is suppressed. Note that the butt joint structure is not limited to this, and the front end portion 24a of the second large-diameter portion 24 may be formed in a stepped cylindrical shape with a reduced diameter so as to have a butt joint structure, and this may be detachably fitted into the rear end portion 14a of the first large-diameter portion 14.

[0037] Also in this embodiment, a rear rod 20A having a different length and thickness can be replaced for the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10A. Therefore, the fishing rod 1A is excellent in customization. Similarly, since the rear rod 20A is attached to the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10A inside the reel seat 30, the joint portion is not exposed to the outside, and steps or the like generated by the joint do not touch the fingers for gripping. Therefore, it is also excellent in fishing operability and design.

[0038] (Third Embodiment) Next, the fishing rod 1B of the third embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the fishing rod 1B according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first and second embodiments is that the rear rod 20B is configured to be detachably attached to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30B by screwing.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3, the first large-diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10A is adhered to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30 with an adhesive, as in the first and second embodiments. On the other hand, a male thread 24n is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20B. The male thread 24n is formed substantially over the entire axial direction on the outer peripheral surface of the second large-diameter portion 24. Note that the formation region of the male thread 24n can be set as appropriate.

[0040] On the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30B, a female thread 35n that engages with the male thread 24n of the second large-diameter portion 24 is formed. The female thread 35n is formed in a region that is approximately half of the rear portion side of the inner peripheral surface 35 and faces the second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20B. Note that the formation region of the female thread 35n can be set as appropriate corresponding to the formation region of the male thread 24n of the second large-diameter portion 24.

[0041] The front end face 25 of the second large-diameter portion 24 is applied to the rear end face 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10B in a state where the second large-diameter portion 24 is tightened against the inner peripheral surface 35. Thereby, the rear rod 20B is press-fixed to the reel sheet 30B and firmly attached.

[0042] Also in this embodiment, rear rods 20B of different lengths and thicknesses can be replaced with respect to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30B. Therefore, the fishing rod 1B is excellent in customization. Further, the joint portion is not exposed to the outside, and steps or the like generated by the joint do not touch the fingers that hold it. Therefore, it is also excellent in fishing operability and design. Further, since the rear rod 20B is attached to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30 by screwing, it is difficult to come off, and the attached state can be surely maintained without rattling.

[0043] (Fourth Embodiment) Next, the fishing rod 1C of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the fishing rod 1C according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first to third embodiments is that a projecting portion 36 for abutting is provided on the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30C. In addition, a male thread 24n is formed on the second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20C, and a female thread 35n is formed on the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30C, as in the third embodiment.

[0044] As shown in FIG. 4, the projecting portion 36 projects circumferentially radially inward from the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30C. The rear end surface 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10C is abutted against the front surface of the projecting portion 36 and adhered by an adhesive. Further, the front end surface 25 of the second large-diameter portion 24 is abutted against the rear surface of the projecting portion 36 by tightening by screwing. The front surface and the rear surface of the projecting portion 36 have sizes facing the rear end surface 15 of the front rod 10C and the front end surface 25 of the rear rod 20C, respectively.

[0045] Note that although the projecting portion 36 is shown as projecting circumferentially on the inner peripheral surface 35, it is not limited thereto, and it may partially project on the inner peripheral surface 35. Further, the projecting height (the amount of projection radially inward) of the projecting portion 36 can be set as appropriate. Further, the shape of the projecting portion 36 may be formed in a wall shape that radially partitions the inner peripheral surface 35, and the rear end surface 15 of the front rod 10C and the front end surface 25 of the rear rod 20C may be abutted against the front surface and the rear surface thereof.

[0046] According to this embodiment, the same operational effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be obtained, and at the time of assembling the fishing rod 1C, the positioning of the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10C with respect to the inner peripheral surface 35 is easy, and the assembling work is easy to perform. Therefore, the assembling time can be shortened, and cost reduction and productivity improvement can be achieved.

[0047] Also, when the rear rod 20C is screwed, since the front end face 25 of the second large-diameter portion 24 is pressed against the protrusion 36 with the rear rod 20C tightened, the rear rod 20C is press-fitted and fixed to the reel seat 30C. Thereby, the rear rod 20C can be firmly attached to the reel seat 30C.

[0048] (Fifth Embodiment) Next, the fishing rod 1D of the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 5. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the fishing rod 1D according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first to fourth embodiments is that the outer diameter of the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10D and the outer diameter of the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20D are made different from each other. Note that a male thread 24n is formed on the second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20D, and a female thread 35n is formed on the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 35b of the reel seat 30D, as in the third and fourth embodiments.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 5, the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10D is larger in diameter as a whole than the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20D. Relatively, the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20D is smaller in diameter as a whole than the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10D. Correspondingly, the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30D is formed as a stepped cylindrical shape having a large-diameter inner peripheral surface 35a and a small-diameter inner peripheral surface 35b with different inner diameters. And a stepped surface 35c is formed at the boundary portion between the large-diameter inner peripheral surface 35a and the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 35b.

[0050] The first large-diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10D is adhered to the large-diameter inner peripheral surface 35a with an adhesive. The rear end face 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 is adhered in a state where a part thereof abuts against the stepped surface 35c of the inner peripheral surface 35. The second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20D is attached to the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 35b by screwing. A part of the front end face 25 of the second large-diameter portion 24 abuts against the rear end face 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 by tightening by screwing.

[0051] According to this embodiment, the same operational effects as those of the above-described embodiments can be obtained. When assembling the fishing rod 1D, the rear end face 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 can be adhered by pressing it against the stepped surface 35c. Thus, positioning is easy and the assembly work is facilitated. Thereby, the assembly time can be shortened, and cost reduction and productivity improvement can be achieved. Further, since the front end face 25 of the second large-diameter portion 24 can be pressed against the rear end face 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 and tightened, the rear rod 20D can be firmly attached to the reel seat 30D.

[0052] Moreover, a variation can be provided in the structure such that the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20D can be attached to and detached from the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30D, and the appearance (design) of the portion exposed behind the reel seat 30D can also be changed. Thereby, it can be easily customized to a preferred fishing rod 1D by a simple operation of replacing the rear rod 20D with one of a different specification.

[0053] (Sixth Embodiment) Next, the fishing rod 1E of the sixth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the fishing rod 1E according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is a modified example combining the fourth and fifth embodiments. The outer diameter of the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10E and the outer diameter of the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20E are made different from each other, and the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10E and the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20E are brought into contact (pressed) with the protrusion 36E provided on the inner peripheral surface 35. Also in this embodiment, a male thread 24n is formed on the second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20E, and a female thread 35n is formed on the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 35b of the reel seat 30E, in the same manner as in the fourth and fifth embodiments.

[0054] As shown in FIG. 6, the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10E has a larger diameter overall than the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20E. Relatively, the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20E has a smaller diameter overall than the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10E. Further, correspondingly, the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30E is provided with a large-diameter inner peripheral surface 35a and a small-diameter inner peripheral surface 35b having different inner diameters. The inner peripheral surface 35 has a stepped cylindrical shape.

[0055] The protrusion 36E protrudes circumferentially inward in the radial direction at the boundary between the large-diameter inner peripheral surface 35a and the small-diameter inner peripheral surface 35b. The rear end surface 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10E is abutted against the front surface of the protrusion 36 and adhered by an adhesive. Further, the front end surface 25 of the second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20E is abutted against the rear surface of the protrusion 36 by tightening by screwing.

[0056] According to the present embodiment, the same operational effects as those of the fourth and fifth embodiments described above can be obtained. That is, at the time of assembling the fishing rod 1E, since the rear end surface 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 can be abutted against the protrusion 36E and adhered, positioning is easy and the assembling work is easy to perform. Thereby, the assembling time can be shortened, and cost reduction and productivity improvement can be achieved. Further, since the front end surface 25 of the second large-diameter portion 24 can be abutted against the protrusion 36E and tightened, the rear rod 20E can be firmly attached to the reel seat 30E.

[0057] (Seventh Embodiment) Next, the fishing rod 1F of the seventh embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view showing a main part of the fishing rod 1F according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. The difference between the present embodiment and the first to sixth embodiments is that press-fitting is adopted as the attachment structure of the rear rod 20F. The first large-diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10F is adhered to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30F with an adhesive.

[0058] The second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20F has an outer diameter that can be press-fitted against the rear-side portion of the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30F. The rear portion 12 of the front rod 10F and the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20F are arranged in a non-contact state with a space S1 therebetween in the axial direction of the reel seat 30F. As a result, when the rear rod 20F is attached by press-fitting, the front end surface 25 of the second large-diameter portion 24 does not contact the rear end surface 15 of the first large-diameter portion 14 of the front rod 10, and the front rod 10 is not subjected to stress from the rear rod 20 by press-fitting. Note that the size of the space S1 can be set as appropriate.

[0059] According to the present embodiment, as in the above-described embodiment, rear rods 20F having different lengths and thicknesses can be replaced with respect to the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30F. In addition, since the replacement (joint) structure is simple, the cost of the fishing rod 1F can be reduced.

[0060] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, design changes can be made as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, although the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10 (10A, etc.) and the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20 (20A, etc.) are shown as being formed with a large diameter, the present invention is not limited thereto, and they may be formed with a small diameter. In this case, at least with respect to the reel seat 30 (including those with a spacer interposed), the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20 (30B, etc.) is configured to have a structure that can be detachably attached.

[0061] Also, in each of the above embodiments, although the first inclined portion 13 and the second inclined portion 23 are shown as being provided so as to be exposed outside the reel seat 30 (30B, etc.), the present invention is not limited thereto, and they may be configured such that a part thereof is disposed inside the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel seat 30. Further, a part of the first large-diameter portion 14 and the second large-diameter portion 24 may be provided so as to be exposed outside the reel seat 30 (30B, etc.).

[0062] Further, for example, a hole may be formed in the reel sheet 30 (30B, etc.) so that the joined state (contact state) between the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10 (10A, etc.) and the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20 (20A, etc.) can be visually observed from the outside of the reel sheet 30.

[0063] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, the front rod 10 (10A, etc.) and the rear rod 20 (20A, etc.) configured as tubular bodies (hollow bodies) are shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and one or both of the front rod 10 (10A, etc.) and the rear rod 20 (20A, etc.) may be configured as solid bodies. Further, a part thereof may be configured as a solid body.

[0064] Also, the rear portion 12 of the front rod 10 (10A, etc.) may be configured by a fiber-reinforced resin prepreg (prepreg sheet) different from the front rod main body portion 11. Similarly, the front portion 22 of the rear rod 20 (20A, etc.) may be configured by a fiber-reinforced resin prepreg (prepreg sheet) different from the rear rod main body portion 21.

[0065] In addition, in the first and second embodiments, the outer diameters of the first large-diameter portions 14 of the front rods 10 and 10A and the outer diameters of the second large-diameter portions 24 of the rear rods 20 and 20A are shown to be substantially the same, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the outer diameters may be different from each other.

[0066] In addition, in the third, fifth, and other embodiments, the front portion 22 (second large-diameter portion 24) of the rear rod 20B (20D) may be configured to be detachably attached to the rear portion 12 (first large-diameter portion 14) of the front rod 10B (10D) by screwing.

[0067] In addition, in the third to sixth embodiments, the configuration in which the reel sheet 30B (30C, etc.) and the rear rod 20B (20C, etc.) are detachably attached by screwing is shown, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the second large-diameter portion 24 of the rear rod 20B (20C, etc.) may be configured to be press-fitted and detached to and from the inner peripheral surface 35 of the reel sheet 30B (30C, etc.).
