First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A tubular reel seat for fishing rod, including a tubular movable hood disposed on a front side of the reel seat, the tubular movable hood comprising a hood portion configured to cover a front-end portion of a reel foot of a fishing reel, and a trigger disposed in part of a circumference of an outer circumferential surface of the movable hood on an opposite side of the hood portion, the trigger configured to be hooked by a finger from the front side. 2 . The reel seat for fishing rod according to claim 1 , wherein a front surface of the trigger is convexly curved forward along a width direction, and a rear surface of the trigger includes a recess. 3 . The reel seat for fishing rod according to claim 1 , wherein a front surface of the trigger is convexly curved forward along a width direction, and an amount a rear surface of the trigger projects in a rearward direction being less than an amount the front surface projected in a forward direction in a horizontal sectional view. 4 . The reel seat for fishing rod according to claim 1 , wherein the trigger projects in a length that generally corresponds to a width of one finger. 5 . The reel seat for fishing rod according to claim 1 , wherein a distal end side region of a front surface of the trigger is inclined forward with respect to a radial direction of the movable hood at an angle of inclination of 10 degrees or less, and, when a reel is attached, the distal end side region of the front surface of the trigger extends in a radial direction of the movable hood or is inclined forward with respect to the radial direction of the movable hood. 6 . A fishing rod comprising: the reel seat for fishing rod according to claim 1 . 7 . A tubular movable hood of a reel seat for fishing rod, comprising: a hood portion configured to cover a front-end portion of a reel foot, and a trigger disposed, in part of an entire circumference of an outer circumferential surface of the movable hood on a side opposite to the hood portion, the trigger configured to hook a finger from a front side.
