Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a reel seat for a fishing rod for fixing a fishing reel to the fishing rod.

Background Art

[0002] The reel seat described in Patent Document 1 below includes a cylindrical movable hood that is axially movable with respect to a cylindrical reel seat body. The reel seat body includes a fixed hood that holds one end portion of the reel leg. The movable hood holds the other end portion of the reel leg. The movable hood includes a housing portion into which one end portion of the reel leg is inserted at one location on the entire circumference in the circumferential direction.

[0003] In the case of a large reel, the distance between both end portions of the reel leg is long. On the other hand, in the case of a small reel, the distance between both end portions of the reel leg is short. Therefore, when a large reel is attached to the reel seat, the movable hood is positioned relatively axially away from the fixed hood. On the other hand, when a small reel is attached to the reel seat, the movable hood is positioned relatively close to the fixed hood. On the opposite side in the circumferential direction of the reel leg, a gap is generated axially between the outer peripheral surface of the reel seat body and the outer peripheral surface of the movable hood. This gap is small when the movable hood is positioned close to the fixed hood, and large when the movable hood is positioned away from the fixed hood. That is, the size of the gap changes depending on the size of the reel leg, and the feel of the hand gripping that portion also changes.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a reel sheet in which the feel when grasped hardly changes even if the length of the reel leg changes.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The reel sheet according to the present invention includes a fixed hood that holds a first end portion of a reel leg of a fishing reel, a reel sheet body having a first engaging portion, and a second engaging portion that engages with the first engaging portion. The reel sheet body is provided so as to be movable in the axial direction while being restricted from moving in the circumferential direction, and a movable hood that holds a second end portion of the reel leg. The movable hood has a first accommodating portion and a second accommodating portion that is circumferentially spaced from the first accommodating portion and axially closer to the fixed hood than the first accommodating portion. The first accommodating portion or the second accommodating portion selectively accommodates the second end portion.

[0007] When attaching a large reel to the reel sheet, the first end portion of the reel leg is held by the fixed hood, the second end portion of the reel leg is accommodated in the first accommodating portion, and the second end portion of the reel leg is held by the movable hood. On the other hand, when attaching a small reel to the reel sheet, the second end portion of the reel leg is accommodated in the second accommodating portion, and the second end portion of the reel leg is held by the movable hood. The second accommodating portion is axially closer to the fixed hood than the first accommodating portion. Therefore, the difference between the axial position of the movable hood when a small reel is attached to the reel sheet and the axial position of the movable hood when a large reel is attached to the reel sheet is small. In this way, when the size of the reel changes, the axial position of the movable hood with respect to the reel sheet body hardly changes. Therefore, even when switching to reels of different sizes, the degree of change in the grip feeling is small.

[0008] Preferably, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion selectively engage with a first posture in which the first accommodating portion faces the fixed hood in the axial direction and a second posture in which the second accommodating portion faces the fixed hood in the axial direction. According to this configuration, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion selectively restrict the movable hood in the first posture and the second posture, and the reel leg can be firmly held together with the fixed hood.

[0009] Preferably, the first accommodating portion has a first opening end portion located at a predetermined distance in the radial direction from the central axis of the movable hood, and the second accommodating portion is located at a predetermined distance in the radial direction from the central axis of the movable hood and has a second opening end portion that is axially closer to the fixed hood than the first opening end portion. According to this configuration, the first opening end portion of the first accommodating portion and the second opening end portion of the second accommodating portion have the same radial distance from the central axis of the movable hood. Therefore, when the second end portion of the reel leg is accommodated in the first accommodating portion and when it is accommodated in the second accommodating portion, it is difficult for the grip feeling to change.

[0010] Preferably, the reel sheet body is provided on the opposite side in the circumferential direction with respect to the fixed hood, is located at a predetermined distance from the central axis of the reel sheet body, and has a bulging end portion that selectively faces the first opening end portion or the second opening end portion. According to this configuration, the bulging end portion of the reel sheet body, the first opening end portion, and the second opening end portion of the movable hood have the same radial distance from the central axis of the reel sheet. Therefore, when the bulging end portion of the reel sheet faces the first opening end portion of the movable hood, the bulging end portion and the first opening end portion are flush. Also, when the bulging end portion of the reel sheet faces the second opening end portion of the movable hood, the bulging end portion and the second opening end portion are flush. Therefore, a good grip feeling can be obtained.

[0011] Preferably, it further has a first contact body that is provided in the first accommodating portion and contacts the second end portion, and the first accommodating portion has a first holding portion on its inner peripheral surface for holding the first contact body. According to this configuration, the first contact body can be made of, for example, a material with excellent cushioning properties. Therefore, it is possible to easily prevent damage to the second end portion of the reel leg.

[0012] Preferably, the first holding portion has a first locking portion that restricts the axial movement of the first contact body, and a first restricting portion that restricts the circumferential movement and the radial inward movement of the first contact body. According to this configuration, the axial movement of the first contact body is restricted by the first locking portion, and the circumferential movement and the radial inward movement of the first contact body are restricted by the first restricting portion. Therefore, the first contact body is stabilized, and the second end portion of the reel leg that contacts the first contact body is also stabilized.

[0013] Preferably, it further has a second abutting body provided in the second accommodating portion and abutting against the second end portion, and the second accommodating portion has a second holding portion for holding the second abutting body on the inner peripheral surface. According to this configuration, the second abutting body can be made of a material excellent in cushioning properties, for example. Therefore, damage to the second end portion of the reel leg can be easily prevented.

[0014] Preferably, the second holding portion has a second locking portion that restricts the axial movement of the second abutting body, and a second restricting portion that restricts the circumferential movement and the inward radial movement of the second abutting body. According to this configuration, the axial movement of the second abutting body is restricted by the second locking portion, and the circumferential movement and the inward radial movement of the second abutting body are restricted by the second restricting portion. Therefore, the second abutting body is stabilized, and the second end portion of the reel leg abutting against the second abutting body is also stabilized.

[0015] Preferably, the first abutting body and the second abutting body have the same shape as each other. According to this configuration, the first abutting body and the second abutting body can be made of common parts. Then, the first holding portion and the second holding portion can have the same shape as each other, the configuration of the movable hood can be made simple, and the production of the movable hood becomes easy.

Advantages of the Invention

[0016] As described above, even if the length of the reel leg changes, it is difficult for the feeling of holding to change.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] Hereinafter, a reel seat for a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The reel seat 1 in this embodiment is for attaching a reel 200 to a fishing rod 100. The reel seat 1 is attached to the rod body 101 of the fishing rod 100. The reel seat 1 is a cylindrical one so-called pipe seat. The reel seat 1 is attached to the outer side in the radial direction of the rod body 101 and adhesively fixed at a predetermined position. The reel seat 1 of this embodiment is suitable for attaching a spinning reel 200, but may also be suitable for attaching a two-bearing reel 200. In a normal use state, the spinning reel 200 is located below the fishing rod 100. The reel 200 includes reel legs 201. The reel legs 201 have a first end portion 202 that is an end portion in the first axial direction Z1 and a second end portion 203 that is an end portion in the second axial direction Z2. The first end portion 202 faces the first axial direction Z1, and the second end portion 203 faces the second axial direction Z2 that is opposite to the first axial direction Z1. Note that the first axial direction Z1 may be the tip side of the rod or the butt side of the rod. The first end portion 202 and the second end portion 203 of the reel legs 201 face opposite directions in the axial direction. By fixing the first end portion 202 and the second end portion 203 of the reel legs 201 to the reel seat 1 respectively, the reel 200 can be fixed to the fishing rod 100.

[0019] A relatively large reel 200 and a relatively small reel 200 can be attached to the reel seat 1. The large reel 200 has large reel legs 201, that is, reel legs 201 having a long axial length. The small reel 200 has small reel legs 201, that is, reel legs 201 having a short axial length. FIGS. 1 and 3 show a state where a large reel 200 is attached to the reel seat 1, and FIGS. 2 and 4 show a state where a small reel 200 is attached to the reel seat 1.

[0020] The reel sheet 1 includes a cylindrical reel sheet body 2 that is adhesively fixed directly to the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 101 or via a spacer (not shown), a cylindrical movable hood 3 that is non-rotatably and axially movably fitted over the radially outer side of the reel sheet body 2, and a cylindrical nut 4 for axially moving the movable hood 3. The movable hood 3 and the nut 4 are located in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction of the reel sheet body 2. Incidentally, a cylindrical grip 5 made of EVA, cork, or the like is provided in the first direction Z1 in the axial direction with respect to the reel sheet body 2. The grip 5 is mounted from the outer peripheral surface of the reel sheet body 2 to the outer peripheral surface of the rod body 101.

[0021] The reel sheet body 2 is made of, for example, synthetic resin and integrally formed by injection molding. The first end portion 2a in the axial direction of the reel sheet body 2 faces the first direction Z1 in the axial direction, and the second end portion 2b in the axial direction of the reel sheet body 2 faces the second direction Z2 in the axial direction. The reel sheet body 2 has a leg mounting surface 10 for mounting the reel leg 201. Incidentally, in a cross-sectional view of the reel sheet 1 cut in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction, the direction in which the leg mounting surface 10 faces is referred to as the vertical direction, and the direction orthogonal to the vertical direction is referred to as the horizontal direction. In the figure, the vertical direction is indicated by the symbol Y, and the horizontal direction is indicated by the symbol X. A fixed hood 11 for holding the first end portion 202 of the reel leg 201 is provided at the end portion of the leg mounting surface 10 in the first direction Z1 in the axial direction. The fixed hood 11 is integrally formed with the reel sheet body 2. The fixed hood 11 opens in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction, and the first end portion 202 of the reel leg 201 is inserted into the fixed hood 11 from the opening in the first direction Z1 in the axial direction.

[0022] On the outer peripheral surface of the reel sheet body 2, an external thread portion 12 is formed. The external thread portion 12 is located in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction from the leg placement surface 10. The external thread portion 12 is formed up to the second end portion 2b in the axial direction of the reel sheet body 2. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a first engaging portion 13 is provided in the formation region of the external thread portion 12. The first engaging portion 13 is a guide groove in which the external thread portion 12 is partially missing, extends in the axial direction, and reaches the second end portion 2b in the axial direction of the reel sheet body 2. The first engaging portion 13 guides the movable hood 3 to be movable in the axial direction and restricts the circumferential movement of the movable hood 3. That is, the first engaging portion 13 restricts the circumferential rotation of the movable hood 3 and restricts the movable hood 3 so that the movable hood 3 moves in the axial direction without rotating. The first engaging portion 13 is provided at at least two locations facing each other for at least 180 degrees out of the entire circumference of the formation region of the external thread portion 12. In the present embodiment, the first engaging portion 13 is provided at two locations facing each other in the vertical direction Y. Incidentally, the first engaging portion 13 may be provided at a total of four locations at intervals of 90 degrees in the circumferential direction.

[0023] On the outer peripheral surface of the reel sheet body 2, in a portion in the first axial direction Z1 with respect to the male screw portion 12, a stepped portion 14 is provided where the first axial direction Z1 has a larger diameter. The stepped portion 14 is provided on the side opposite to the leg placement surface 10 in the circumferential direction. An outwardly bulging end portion 15 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the reel sheet body 2. The outwardly bulging end portion 15 is located on the side opposite to the leg placement surface 10 in the circumferential direction. The outwardly bulging end portion 15 is connected to the stepped portion 14 in the first axial direction Z1. The first axial end 3a of the movable hood 3 faces the first axial direction Z1, and the second axial end 3b of the movable hood 3 faces the second axial direction Z2. The outwardly bulging end portion 15 axially faces the first axial end 3a of the movable hood 3. The outwardly bulging end portion 15 is located at a predetermined distance L in the radial direction from the central axis 2c of the reel sheet body 2. Incidentally, the central axis 2c of the reel sheet body 2 coincides with the central axis of the movable hood 3, the central axis of the nut 4, and the central axis of the rod body 101. Hereinafter, the central axis 2c of the reel sheet body 2 is simply referred to as the central axis 2c. The outwardly bulging end portion 15 of the reel sheet body 2 bulges outward in the radial direction from the male screw portion 12. The predetermined distance L from the central axis 2c of the outwardly bulging end portion 15 coincides with the maximum radius at the first axial end 3a of the movable hood 3. The outwardly bulging end portion 15 is located away from the male screw portion 12 in the first axial direction Z1.

[0024] The nut 4 is screwed onto the male screw portion 12 of the reel sheet body 2. The movable hood 3 is positioned between the nut 4 and the fixed hood 11. The movable hood 3 is cylindrical and covers the outer side in the radial direction of the reel sheet body 2. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, a second engaging portion 20 is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the movable hood 3. The second engaging portion 20 engages with the first engaging portion 13. The second engaging portion 20 is a ridge extending along the axial direction. When the second engaging portion 20 of the movable hood 3 engages with the first engaging portion 13 of the reel sheet body 2, the movable hood 3 can move linearly in the axial direction while being guided by the first engaging portion 13 without rotating around the central axis 2c. A pair of second engaging portions 20 are provided facing each other at 180 degrees. An annular ridge 21 (first circumferential direction engaging portion) protruding radially inward is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the second end portion 3b in the axial direction of the movable hood 3. On the other hand, an annular groove 90 (second circumferential direction engaging portion) recessed radially inward is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the axial end portion of the nut 4. The annular ridge 21 of the movable hood 3 engages with the annular groove 90 of the nut 4. Thus, as the nut 4 moves axially while rotating, the movable hood 3 also moves axially together with the nut 4. Incidentally, an annular ridge may be provided on the nut 4 and an annular groove may be provided on the movable hood 3.

[0025] When the nut 4 is rotated in the first circumferential direction, the movable hood 3 approaches the fixed hood 11 together. When the nut 4 is rotated in the second direction opposite to the first circumferential direction, the movable hood 3 moves away from the fixed hood 11. By rotating the nut 4 in the first circumferential direction, the reel leg 201 can be clamped axially by the fixed hood 11 and the movable hood 3. By rotating the nut 4 in the second circumferential direction, the reel leg 201 can be released. Then, as the nut 4 is rotated in the second circumferential direction, eventually the nut 4 moves away from the male screw portion 12 in the second axial direction Z2. When the nut 4 moves away from the male screw portion 12, the second engaging portion 20 of the movable hood 3 can be disengaged axially from the first engaging portion 13 of the reel sheet body 2, and the movable hood 3 can move away axially from the reel sheet body 2. When the movable hood 3 is separated from the reel sheet body 2 in the second axial direction Z2, the movable hood 3 can be rotated circumferentially. Then, the movable hood 3 is rotated 180 degrees circumferentially, and again, the second engaging portion 20 of the movable hood 3 can be engaged with the first engaging portion 13 of the reel sheet body 2, and the movable hood 3 can be placed over the reel sheet body 2 in the first axial direction Z1. That is, it is possible to invert the movable hood 3 by 180 degrees. FIGS. 1 and 3 show the state where the movable hood 3 is in the first posture. FIGS. 2 and 4 show the state where the movable hood 3 is in the second posture that is inverted 180 degrees with respect to the first posture. The second posture is a posture that is upside down with respect to the first posture.

[0026] The movable hood 3 has a first accommodating portion 22 and a second accommodating portion 23 that accommodate the second end portion 203 of the reel leg 201. The first accommodating portion 22 and the second accommodating portion 23 selectively accommodate the second end portion 203 of the reel leg 201. The first accommodating portion 22 and the second accommodating portion 23 open at the first axial end 3a of the movable hood 3. The first accommodating portion 22 is provided at a first position among the entire circumference of the movable hood 3. The second accommodating portion 23 is provided at a second position among the entire circumference of the movable hood 3. The second position is circumferentially separated from the first position. In the present embodiment, the first position and the second position are separated by 180 degrees in the circumferential direction. That is, the first position and the second position are in a positional relationship of being opposed to each other by 180 degrees, and the first accommodating portion 22 and the second accommodating portion 23 are provided so as to be opposed to each other by 180 degrees. Specifically, the first accommodating portion 22 and the second accommodating portion 23 are opposed to each other in the vertical direction Y. FIGS. 1 and 3 show a state in which the first accommodating portion 22 is axially opposed to the fixed hood 11, and FIGS. 2 and 4 show a state in which the second accommodating portion 23 is axially opposed to the fixed hood 11.

[0027] As shown in FIG. 8, the first accommodating portion 22 and the second accommodating portion 23 are portions where two locations opposed to each other by 180 degrees among the entire circumference of the first axial end 3a of the movable hood 3 bulge radially outward locally. The shape when the first axial end 3a of the movable hood 3 is viewed axially is not circular, but an oval shape that is long in the direction in which the first accommodating portion 22 and the second accommodating portion 23 face each other. That is, the first axial end 3a of the movable hood � is long in the vertical direction Y and short in the horizontal direction X. The first accommodating portion 22 has a first opening end 24, and the second accommodating portion 23 has a second opening end 25. The first opening end 24 and the second opening end 25 are provided at the first axial end 3a of the movable hood 3. Both the first opening end 24 and the second opening end 25 are portions of the outer peripheral surface of the movable hood 3 and are located at a predetermined distance L radially from the central axis 2c. The second opening end 25 is provided in the first direction Z1 in the axial direction with respect to the first opening end 24.

[0028] The second accommodating portion 23 is closer to the fixed hood 11 than the first accommodating portion 22. The first accommodating portion 22 is suitable for mounting a large reel 200, and the second accommodating portion 23 is suitable for mounting a small reel 200. The first accommodating portion 22 is relatively close to the annular protrusion 21, and the second accommodating portion 23 is relatively far from the annular protrusion 21. That is, the second accommodating portion 23 is located in the first axial direction Z1 with respect to the first accommodating portion 22. The first accommodating portion 22 and the second accommodating portion 23 may have different configurations from each other, but in this embodiment, they have a common configuration with each other, and only the axial positions are different.

[0029] In this embodiment, the movable hood 3 is composed of three parts. The movable hood 3 includes a cylindrical hood body 30, a first contact body 31 and a second contact body 32 that are mounted on the inner peripheral surface of the hood body 30 and with which the second end portion 203 of the reel leg 201 abuts. In addition, in FIGS. 7 to 9, a large number of dots are shown on the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32. The first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 selectively abut against the second end portion 203 of the reel leg 201.

[0030] The hood body 30 is the main part of the movable hood 3. An annular protrusion 21 is provided on the hood body 30. The outer peripheral surface of the hood body 30 becomes the outer peripheral surface of the movable hood 3. The hood body 30 is made of, for example, metal or synthetic resin. The first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 are each separate from the hood body 30 and are made of, for example, synthetic resin. It is preferable that the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 are softer than the hood body 30. When the hood body 30 is made of metal, it is preferable that the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 are made of synthetic resin. The first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 may have different materials and different shapes from each other, but in this embodiment, they are common parts with each other, have the same shape as each other, and are made of the same material.

[0031] The first contact body 31 is provided in the first accommodating portion 22, and the second contact body 32 is provided in the second accommodating portion 23. The first accommodating portion 22 has a first holding portion 40 that holds the first contact body 31, and the second accommodating portion 23 has a second holding portion 41 that holds the first contact body 31. The first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 are arranged to face each other at 180 degrees. The first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 are different in axial position from each other. The second contact body 32 is located in the second direction Z1 in the axial direction from the first contact body 31. The first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41 are provided on the inner peripheral surface of the hood body 30. The first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41 are provided to face each other at 180 degrees. The first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41 are different in axial position from each other. The second holding portion 41 is located in the second direction Z1 in the axial direction from the first holding portion 40. Since the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 have the same shape as each other, the first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41 have the same shape as each other and are offset from each other in the axial position.

[0032] The first abutting body 31 and the second abutting body 32 are the same parts as each other. Fig. 13 shows the first abutting body 31 alone. The first abutting body 31 is preferably plate-shaped and extends in the circumferential direction and the axial direction. The first abutting body 31 has a main body portion 51 having an abutting surface 50 on the inner surface where the second end portion 203 of the reel leg 201 abuts, and an extension portion 52 extending from the main body portion 51 in the second axial direction Z2. The main body portion 51 is the main part of the first abutting body 31. The abutting surface 50 is provided up to the first axial end portion 51a of the main body portion 51. The first axial end portion 51a of the main body portion 51 is the first axial end of the first abutting body 31. The extension portion 52 extends axially from the second axial end portion 51b of the main body portion 51. Restricting protrusions 53 extending axially are provided at both circumferential ends of the outer surface of the extension portion 52. The restricting protrusions 53 are columnar and protrude radially outward. The restricting protrusions 53 extend in the second axial direction Z2 from the second axial end portion 51b of the main body portion 51. A second engaging portion 20 is provided on the first abutting body 31. The second engaging portion 20 is provided on the inner surface of the first abutting body 31 and protrudes toward the central axis 2c. The second engaging portion 20 is formed from the main body portion 51 to the extension portion 52. The second engaging portion 20 is formed up to the second axial end of the extension portion 52. The second axial end of the extension portion 52 is the second axial end of the first abutting body 31.

[0033] The first holding portion 40 has a first recess 42 into which the first abutting body 31 fits, and the second holding portion 41 has a second recess 43 into which the second abutting body 32 fits. The first recess 42 and the second recess 43 are recessed radially outward, respectively.

[0034] The first holding part 40 has a first locking part 44 that restricts the axial movement of the first contact body 31, and a first restricting part 45 that restricts the circumferential movement and the inward radial movement of the first contact body 31. In the present embodiment, the first locking part 44 restricts the first axial end 51a and the second axial end 51b of the main body part 51. The first locking part 44 has a first front stopper 44a that restricts the movement of the first contact body 31 in the first direction Z1 in the axial direction, and a first back stopper 44b that restricts the movement of the first contact body 31 in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction. The first front stopper 44a is provided at the first axial end of the hood main body 30 and protrudes in a flange shape toward the inner side in the radial direction. The first front stopper 44a is a convex strip that is long in the circumferential direction and is provided within a range of a predetermined angle around the central axis 2c. The first axial end 51a of the main body part 51 (the first axial end of the first contact body 31) abuts against the first front stopper 44a. The first back stopper 44b is separated from the first front stopper 44a in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction. The first back stopper 44b is a stepped surface that faces inward in the radial direction. The second axial end 51b of the main body part 51 abuts against the first back stopper 44b.

[0035] The first restricting part 45 has a pair of first restricting convex parts 45a against which both circumferential ends of the main body part 51 of the first contact body 31 abut respectively, and a pair of first restricting concave parts 45b with which a pair of restricting protrusions 53 of the extending part 52 of the first contact body 31 engage respectively. The first restricting convex parts 45a are provided at both circumferential opening edges of the first concave part 42. The first restricting convex parts 45a protrude toward the inner side in the radial direction. Specifically, the first restricting convex parts 45a protrude in the left - right direction X. The first restricting concave parts 45b are continuous with the first concave part 42 and are recessed further outward in the radial direction from the first concave part 42. The restricting protrusions 53 are inserted into the first restricting concave parts 45b in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction.

[0036] The second holding part 41 has a second locking part 46 that restricts the axial movement of the second abutting body 32, and a second restricting part 47 that restricts the circumferential movement and the inward radial movement of the second abutting body 32. In the present embodiment, the second locking part 46 restricts the first axial end part 51a and the second axial end part 51b of the main body part 51. The second locking part 46 has a second front stopper 46a that restricts the movement of the second abutting body 32 in the first direction Z1 in the axial direction, and a second back stopper 46b that restricts the movement of the second abutting body 32 in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction. The second front stopper 46a is provided at the first axial end part of the hood main body 30 and protrudes in a flange shape toward the inside in the radial direction. The second front stopper 46a is a circumferentially long ridge and is provided within a range of a predetermined angle around the central axis 2c. The first axial end part of the second abutting body 32 abuts against the second front stopper 46a. The second back stopper 46b is separated from the second front stopper 46a in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction. The second back stopper 46b is a stepped surface facing inward in the radial direction. The second axial end part 51b of the main body part 51 of the second abutting body 32 abuts against the second back stopper 46b.

[0037] The second restricting part 47 has a pair of second restricting convex parts 47a against which both circumferential end parts of the main body part 51 of the second abutting body 32 abut respectively, and a pair of second restricting concave parts 47b with which a pair of restricting protrusions 53 of the extending part 52 of the second abutting body 32 engage respectively. The second restricting convex parts 47a are provided at both circumferential opening edge parts of the second concave part 43. The second restricting convex parts 47a protrude toward the inside in the radial direction. Specifically, the second restricting convex parts 47a protrude in the left-right direction X. The second restricting concave parts 47b are continuous with the second concave part 43 and are recessed further toward the outside in the radial direction from the second concave part 43. The restricting protrusions 53 are inserted into the second restricting concave parts 47b in the second direction Z2 in the axial direction.

[0038] Figures 1 and 3 show the state in which the large reel 200 is attached to the reel sheet 1. When attaching the large reel 200, the first accommodating portion 22 of the movable hood 3 is axially opposed to the fixed hood 11. The second accommodating portion 23 is axially opposed to the bulging end portion 15 of the reel sheet body 2. The second accommodating portion 23 is located in the first axial direction Z1 with respect to the first accommodating portion 22. A first gap G1 is formed between the bulging end portion 15 and the second accommodating portion 23, specifically, between the bulging end portion 15 and the second opening end portion 25. The radial distance L from the central axis 2c to the bulging end portion 15 is the same as the radial distance L from the central axis 2c to the second opening end portion 25. Therefore, the bulging end portion 15 and the second opening end portion 25 are flush with each other via the first gap G1.

[0039] Figures 2 and 4 show the state in which the small reel 200 is attached to the reel sheet 1. When attaching the small reel 200, the second accommodating portion 23 of the movable hood 3 is axially opposed to the fixed hood 11. The second accommodating portion 23 is located in the first axial direction Z1 with respect to the first accommodating portion 22. That is, the second accommodating portion 23 is in a state closer to the fixed hood 11 than the first accommodating portion 22. Therefore, even when replacing the large reel 200 with the small reel 200, the axial position change of the movable hood 3 with respect to the reel sheet body 2 is small. Therefore, even when replacing with reels 200 of different sizes, it is difficult to cause a difference in the feel of gripping. The angler can grip the fishing rod 100 in a state with little change.

[0040] Also, in the case of Figures 2 and 4, the first accommodating portion 22 is axially opposed to the bulging end portion 15. A second gap G2 is formed between the bulging end portion 15 and the first accommodating portion 22, specifically, between the bulging end portion 15 and the first opening end portion 24. The difference between the first gap G1 and the second gap G2 is small. The palm mainly abuts against the bulging end portion 15. Since the difference between the first gap G1 and the second gap G2 is small, the change in the feel of the palm is small.

[0041] Furthermore, the radial distance L from the central axis 2c to the bulging end portion 15, the radial distance L from the central axis 2c to the first opening end portion 24, and the radial distance L from the central axis 2c to the second opening end portion 25 are all the same. Therefore, when a large reel 200 is attached, the bulging end portion 15 and the first opening end portion 24 are flush with each other with a first gap G1 therebetween. Also, when a small reel 200 is attached, the bulging end portion 15 and the second opening end portion 25 are flush with each other with a second gap G2 therebetween. In any case, since the distance L is equal, it is difficult for a change to occur in the feeling of contact against the palm.

[0042] Since the first contact body 31 is provided in the first accommodating portion 22 and the second contact body 32 is provided in the second accommodating portion 23, by making these first contact body 31 and second contact body 32 made of synthetic resin, it is possible to prevent damage to the second end portion 203 of the reel leg 201. Also, by making the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 common parts, the manufacturing cost is reduced, and the contact state with the second end portion 203 is also likely to be constant, and the second end portion 203 can be held stably and reliably. Furthermore, the first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41 can have the same shape as each other, and their axial positions can be shifted from each other. Therefore, the configuration of the hood body 30 can be made simple, and the manufacturing of the hood body 30 becomes easy.

[0043] The first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32, which are separate members from the hood body 30, are respectively held by the first holding portion 40 and the second holding portion 41. Therefore, they can be attached to the hood body 30 without using an adhesive, and even when an adhesive is used, the amount thereof can be reduced. In particular, since the axial movement of the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 is restricted by the first locking portion 44 and the second locking portion 46, the axial positions of the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 do not change. Therefore, the second end portion 203 can be stably held. Further, it is possible to prevent the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 from axially coming out of the hood body 30. Furthermore, since the circumferential movement of the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 is restricted by the first restricting portion 45 and the second restricting portion 47, the circumferential positions of the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 do not change. Therefore, the second end portion 203 can be stably held. Also, the first restricting portion 45 and the second restricting portion 47 restrict the movement of the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 inward in the radial direction. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first contact body 31 and the second contact body 32 from falling off the hood body 30.

[0044] In addition, in the present embodiment, although two accommodating portions for accommodating the second end portion 203 of the reel leg 201 are provided, three, four, or the like may be provided.
