Abstract

A reel seat comprises a seat main body that comprises a reel leg placing portion to which a reel leg is placed and fixed and a tubular portion provided with an opening hole into which a rear end portion of a rod is fitted and fixed, and a grip is disposed on a rear side of the reel leg placing portion. The opening hole is formed so the rod to be fitted and fixed is offset downward relative to an axial center X of the grip, is formed further on a lower side than the reel leg placing portion, and is formed so that a rear end edge of the rod is located further on a rear side than a front end of a reel leg in a state where the reel leg of a fishing reel is placed and fixed to the reel leg placing portion.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A reel seat comprising:
a seat main body that comprises a reel leg placing portion to which a reel leg of a fishing reel is placed and fixed and a tubular portion with an opening hole into which a rear end portion of a rod is fitted and fixed, and
a grip on a rear side of the reel leg placing portion, wherein
the opening hole is configured so that the rod to be fitted and fixed, or the rod to be fitted and fixed with a joining material interposed therebetween, is offset downward with respect to an axial center of the grip, is further on a lower side than the reel leg placing portion, and is configured so that a rear end edge of the rod or a rear end edge of the joining material is located further on a rear side than a front end edge of the reel leg in a state where the reel leg of the fishing reel is placed and fixed to the reel leg placing portion,
the seat main body comprises a fixed hood on a rear side of the reel leg placing portion, and an inclined surface that rises from the fixed hood toward a rear side, and
a moving hood is on the tubular portion and movable in an axial direction.

2. The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein a cross-sectional shape of a surface of the inclined surface in a direction orthogonal to the axial direction has a recessed portion whose central region is a hollowed recessed shape.

3. The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein a trigger protrudes on a side of the seat main body opposite to an upper surface of the grip.

4. The reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the seat main body is integrally formed using a hard resin material, a fiber-reinforced resin material, or a lightweight metal material.

5. A reel seat comprising:
a seat main body that comprises a reel leg placing portion to which a reel leg of a fishing reel is placed and fixed and a tubular portion with an opening hole into which a rear end portion of a rod is fitted and fixed, and
a grip on a rear side of the reel leg placing portion, wherein
the opening hole is configured so that the rod to be fitted and fixed, or the rod to be fitted and fixed with a joining material interposed therebetween, is offset downward with respect to an axial center of the grip, is further on a lower side than the reel leg placing portion, and is configured so that a rear end edge of the rod or a rear end edge of the joining material is located further on a rear side than a front end edge of the reel leg in a state where the reel leg of the fishing reel is placed and fixed to the reel leg placing portion,
the reel leg placing portion comprises a front placing portion on which a front end side of the reel leg is placed and a rear placing portion on which a rear end side of the reel leg is placed, and
the seat main body comprises a bridge portion having a cavity portion between the front placing portion and the rear placing portion.

6. The reel seat according to claim 5 , wherein, in the seat main body, a rib is on an inner surface of the bridge portion in which the cavity portion is formed.

7. The reel seat according to claim 6 , wherein the rib is configured so that at least a part of the reel leg of the fishing reel placed on the front placing portion and the rear placing portion abuts on the rib.

8. The reel seat according to claim 5 , wherein an outer surface of the bridge portion at a part where the cavity portion is formed has a curved surface that rises toward a rear end along the axial direction and has a recess and a protrusion along the axial direction.

9. A fishing rod to which the reel seat according to claim 1 is fixed.
