[0018] A reel seat and a fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the embodiments, the same parts are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated explanations will be omitted. Note that "up and down," "left and right," and "front and back" follow the arrows in Figures 1 and 2. The tip of the rod is the "front," and the butt of the rod is the "rear."

[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the fishing rod 1 according to this embodiment includes a rod shaft 2, a reel seat 3, and a rear grip 14. The reel seat 3 is a portion to which the fishing reel R is attached or detached. The fishing reel R is a double-axis reel and includes a reel body R1, a mounting leg R2, and a handle R3 (see FIG. 4). The reel body R1 has a circular shape in a side view. The mounting leg R2 is a plate-like portion formed at the bottom of the reel body R1 and extending in the front-to-rear direction. The handle R3 is attached to the right or left side of the reel body R1 and is rotatable around an axis in the left-to-right direction. The fishing reel R may be a baitcasting reel. The reel body R1 may also have another shape.

[0020] The reel seat 3 is a member to which the mounting leg R2 of the fishing reel R is detachably fixed. The rod 2 is inserted into the reel seat 3 and fixed by adhesive. The reel seat 3 includes a reel seat body 10, a floating hood 11, and an operation knob 12.

[0021] The reel seat body 10 is cylindrical and has a hollow portion through which the rod 2 is inserted. The reel seat body 10 has a male thread portion 21, a guide groove 22, a mounting seat 23, a fixed hood 24, a trigger 25, a front constricted portion 26, a rear constricted portion 27, and a rear end large diameter portion 29.

[0022] The male thread portion 21 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the front end of the reel seat body 10. The male thread portion 21 is the portion about which the operating knob 12 rotates. A plurality of guide grooves 22 are formed on the rear side of the male thread portion 21 along the front-to-rear direction. The guide grooves 22 are grooves that guide the floating hood 11 in the axial direction. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the mounting seat 23 is formed generally flat along the front-to-rear direction on the upper part of the reel seat body 10. Notched groove portions 28, 28 are formed on both sides of the mounting seat 23. The notched groove portions 28 correspond to the mounting seat 23 and are formed along the front-to-rear direction in the upper half of the reel seat body 10.

[0023] The fixed hood 24 is a hollow portion formed at the upper rear side of the reel seat body 10 and is open at the front side. The fixed hood 24 is the portion into which the rear part of the mounting leg R2 is inserted. The trigger 25 is formed at the lower rear side of the reel seat body 10 and protrudes downward. The trigger 25 is the portion that the user's finger engages.

[0024] 2 and 3, the front constricted portion 26 corresponds to the mounting seat 23 and the notched grooves 28, and is a recessed portion that reduces in diameter from the bottom of the reel seat body 10 to both sides. In other words, the front constricted portion 26 is formed along the circumferential direction from the bottom of the reel seat body 10 to the ridge lines 28a, 28a of the notched grooves 28, 28.

[0025] 2 and 3, the rear constricted portion 27 is a recessed portion on the rear side of the reel seat body 10, the diameter of which decreases toward the bottom and both sides. The rear constricted portion 27 is formed along the circumferential direction between the fixed hood 24 and the trigger 25.

[0026] The rear large diameter portion 29 is formed at the rear end of the reel seat body 10 and has a larger diameter than other portions. The rear large diameter portion 29 also expands in diameter toward the rear. A rear grip (grip) 14 is connected to the rear side of the rear large diameter portion 29. The rear grip 14 is made of a flexible material such as cork or EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer), a foam resin. The rear grip 14 may also be made of a hard resin. The rear grip 14 may also be a middle grip or an end grip of the fishing rod 1. The rear grip 14 is generally cylindrical and expands in diameter toward the rear. The outer circumferential surfaces of the rear large diameter portion 29 and the rear grip 14 are generally flush with each other in the circumferential direction, and the outer circumferential surfaces of both have the same inclination angle.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, the floating hood 11 is cylindrical and is loosely fitted into a portion of the reel seat body 10 that corresponds to the guide groove 22. The floating hood 11 has a hollow portion 31 and a finger hook recess 32. The inner peripheral surface of the floating hood 11 is formed with a plurality of protrusions (not shown) that slide within the guide groove 22. The hollow portion 31 is open to the rear, and is the portion into which the front portion of the mounting leg R2 is inserted between the hollow portion 31 and the mounting seat 23.

[0028] The finger hook recess 32 includes a front inclined surface 32a, a rear inclined surface 32b, and a bottom 32c. The front inclined surface 32a is formed circumferentially at the upper front portion of the floating hood 11. The front inclined surface 32a is continuous with a front end portion 33 formed flat at the front end of the floating hood 11, and is inclined toward the axis C as it extends rearward. In other words, the front inclined surface 32a is inclined upward and forward from the bottom portion 32c, which is the lowest point. In this embodiment, the front inclined surface 32a is flat when viewed from the side, but it may also be a curved surface that is concave toward the axis C.

[0029] The rear inclined surface 32b is continuous with the bottom portion 32c and extends rearward. The rear inclined surface 32b is inclined in a direction away from the axis C as it extends rearward. In other words, the rear inclined surface 32b is inclined from the bottom portion 32c toward the rear and upward. In the embodiment, the rear inclined surface 32b is a flat surface when viewed from the side, but it may also be a curved surface that is concave toward the axis C.

[0030] When the floating hood 11 is viewed from the side, the inclination angle of the front inclined surface 32a relative to the axis C and the inclination angle of the rear inclined surface 32b relative to the axis C may be set as appropriate, but in this embodiment, the inclination angle of the front inclined surface 32a is larger than the inclination angle of the rear inclined surface 32b. When the floating hood 11 is viewed from the side, the depth (vertical distance) from the top end of the rear inclined surface 32b to the bottom 32c may be set as appropriate, but is preferably 2.5 to 5.0 mm, for example, and more preferably 3.0 to 4.0 mm. This allows a finger (e.g., an index finger) to be placed stably.

[0031] The operation knob 12 is connected to the front side of the floating hood 11 and has a cylindrical shape. The operation knob 12 is connected to the floating hood 11 so as to be rotatable relative to the floating hood 11. The operation knob 12 is a member that moves the floating hood 11 along the axial direction. Note that the operation knob 12 according to this embodiment also has a function as a grip on the front side of the reel seat 3 (it serves as both an operation knob and a front grip).

[0032] The operation knob 12 includes an inner cylinder portion 12a disposed on the inside and an outer cylinder portion 12b disposed on the outside. The inner cylinder portion 12a has a cylindrical shape, and a female thread portion 41 that screws onto the male thread portion 21 is formed on the inner peripheral surface.

[0033] The outer cylinder 12b has a cylindrical shape and is bonded to the outside of the inner cylinder 12a, rotating in synchronization with the inner cylinder 12a. The outer cylinder 12b is formed of a flexible material such as cork or the foam resin EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer). The outer cylinder 12b may also be made of a hard resin. The outer diameter of the outer cylinder 12b may be set as appropriate, but in this embodiment, it is set to be approximately the same as the outer diameter of the front end 33 of the floating hood 11.

[0034] When the operating knob 12 is rotated in the circumferential direction, the operating knob 12 moves axially while rotating in the front-to-rear direction due to the engagement between the male thread portion 21 and the female thread portion 41, and the floating hood 11 also moves axially following the operating knob 12. By moving the position of the floating hood 11 in the front-to-rear direction relative to the fixed hood 24, the mounting leg R2 can be clamped or released.

[0035] Next, how to hold the fishing rod 1 and fishing reel R according to this embodiment will be described. Figures 4 and 5 show a state in which the reel seat 3 and fishing reel R are gripped with the user's hand H in a palming position. Here, the palm of the hand H wraps around the left side of the reel body R1, with the thumb H1 resting against the rear of the reel body R1 and the index finger H2 resting against the finger hook recess 32. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the middle finger H3 of the hand H rests against the lower part of the boundary between the reel seat body 10 and the floating hood 11, the ring finger H4 rests against the rear constricted portion 27, and the little finger H5 rests against the lower part of the rear end large diameter portion 29.

[0036] More specifically, the side of the index finger H2 abuts against the finger hook recess 32, the pad of the ring finger H4 abuts against the rear constricted portion 27, and the ring finger H4 and little finger H5 pinch the trigger 25. The pad of the little finger H5 also abuts against the lower part of the boundary between the rear end large diameter portion 29 and the rear grip 14.

[0037] According to the fishing rod 1 and reel seat 3 of the present embodiment described above, when palming the reel seat 3 and fishing reel R, for example, the index finger H2 can be placed in the finger hook recess 32, making it difficult for the index finger H2 to slip and allowing for a stable grip of the reel seat 3 and fishing reel R. Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the thumb H1 is placed against the rear of the reel body R1 and the index finger H2 is positioned at the front of the reel body R1, the side of the index finger H2 can naturally be placed against the finger hook recess 32.

[0038] The finger hook recess 32 also has a front inclined surface 32a that restricts the forward movement of the index finger H2, and a rear inclined surface 32b that restricts the backward movement of the index finger H2. This allows the index finger H2 to be placed stably in the finger hook recess 32.

[0039] Furthermore, by providing the rear constricted portion 27, the pad of the ring finger H4 can be placed against the rear constricted portion 27. As a result, the index finger H2 fits into the finger hook recess 32, and the ring finger H4 also fits into the rear constricted portion 27, allowing for a stable grip with the entire hand H. Furthermore, by pinching the trigger 25 between the ring finger H4 and the little finger H5, the force is not lost, allowing for a strong grip.

[0040] In addition, a rear end large diameter portion 29 that expands in diameter toward the rear is formed at the rear end of the reel seat body 10, and a rear grip 14 is provided that is connected to the rear end large diameter portion 29. The outer peripheral surfaces of the rear end large diameter portion 29 and the rear grip 14 are generally flush with each other and have the same inclination angle. This further improves the overall grip feel, including the rear grip 14. More specifically, by reducing the diameter at the rear constricted portion 27 and gradually expanding the diameter at the rear end large diameter portion 29 and the rear grip 14, it becomes easier to apply force from the rear to the front, and play in the fingers is reduced, further improving the overall grip feel, including the rear grip 14.

[0041] The positions of the fingers of the hand H described above are merely examples and can be changed as appropriate depending on the user's preferences and the size of the hand H. For example, the middle finger H3 in FIG. 5 can be hooked onto the ridge 28a of the notched groove 28. In this case, the front narrowed portion 26 makes it easier to hook the middle finger H3 onto the ridge 28a. Even in this configuration, the middle finger H3 fits more snugly and can be gripped more stably.

[0042] FIG. 6 is a side view showing a floating hood according to a modified example. As shown in FIG. 6, the floating hood 11A according to the modified example includes a finger hook recess 32A. The finger hook recess 32A includes a front inclined surface 32a, a rear inclined surface 32b, and a bottom 32c. The front inclined surface 32a is formed as a curved surface concave toward the axis C. The front inclined surface 32a is formed along the circumferential direction at the upper part. The bottom 32c is formed between the front inclined surface 32a and the rear inclined surface 32b. The bottom 32c is a flat surface in side view and is generally parallel to the axis C. The lowest point (the point with the lowest point) of the finger hook recess 32A is set further rearward than in the above-described embodiment. The axial length of the front end 33 is also set longer than in the above-described embodiment. By providing the bottom 32c, which is a flat surface in side view, in the finger hook recess 32A, the fit of the fingers can be improved. In this way, the shape of the finger hook recess 32 may be appropriately set so as to restrict the movement of the fingers placed thereon in the forward and backward directions.

[0043] Also, for example, the large diameter rear end portion 29 and the rear grip 14 may not be enlarged in diameter and may have the same diameter. [Explanation of symbols]
