The grip includes a core body having a cylindrical shape of a predetermined thickness, and a tail end body. The core body is configured to be fitted onto an outside of a core having a cylindrical shape at the rear end portion of the fishing rod body 11 . The tail end body is configured to cover a rear end opening of the core body. The core body and the tail end body are integral. The core body has a peripheral wall that has a void portion along a grip axis direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A grip for a fishing rod disposable at a rear end portion of the fishing rod, the grip for the fishing rod comprising:
a core body having a cylindrical shape of a predetermined thickness, the core body configured to be fitted onto an outside of the rear end portion of the fishing rod; and
a tail end body configured to cover a rear end opening of the core body,
the core body having a peripheral wall that has a void portion extending along a grip axis direction,
the peripheral wall of the core body including an outer peripheral wall and an inner peripheral wall disposed apart from each other in a state in which the void portion is located between the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall,
the tail end body having a connecting portion connecting a rearmost end portion of the outer peripheral wall and a rearmost end portion of the inner peripheral wall, the connecting portion covering the rear end opening of the core body,
the tail end body and the core body including the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall being formed as a single member,
the core body further having support walls connecting the outer peripheral wall and the inner peripheral wall, the void portion being separated into individual void portions by the support walls, and
the outer peripheral wall having notches corresponding to the individual void portions respectively, each notch being smaller than a corresponding one of the individual void portions.

2. The grip for fishing rod according to claim 1 , wherein
the core body includes a perforated portion recessed from an outer surface of the core body in a thickness direction of the core body.

3. The grip for fishing rod according to claim 2 , wherein
the notches are notch recesses formed in a thickness direction of the outer peripheral wall, and
the notch recesses constitute the perforated portion.

4. The grip for fishing rod according to claim 2 , wherein
the notches are notch holes penetrating the outer peripheral wall in a thickness direction of the outer peripheral wall, and
the notch holes constitute the perforated portion.

5. The grip for fishing rod according to claim 1 , wherein
the tail end body is continuous with the outer peripheral wall.

6. The grip for fishing rod according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a bulging portion at which an outer diameter of the core body is at a maximum.

the outer diameter of the core body narrows from the bulging portion toward a front end side of the core body.

8. A fishing rod comprising:
a fishing rod body at a rear end portion of the fishing rod; and
a grip for the fishing rod according to claim 1 , the grip for the fishing rod being disposed at a rear end portion of the fishing rod body,
wherein the core body fits on an outside of the rear end portion of the fishing rod body, the core body being cylindrical and integral with the tail end body.

9. The fishing rod of claim 8 , wherein
an inner diameter of the core body coincides with an outer diameter of the rear end portion of the fishing rod body.
