Fishing line guide and fishing rod

A fishing line guide comprising:

• a guide leg serving as a fixed portion with respect to a rod;
• a fishing line insertion portion with a circular opening through which a fishing line is inserted;
• a connecting portion rising from the guide leg and connected to the fishing line insertion portion;
• and
• a rib protruding to a rod tip side from the vicinity of the fixed portion of the guide leg toward the fishing line insertion portion, wherein
• the connecting portion is plate shaped and rises in a curve from the guide leg,
• the rib is at a central portion of the connecting portion,
• the connecting portion has a first rod tip side surface,
• the fishing line insertion portion has a second rod tip side surface,
• the first rod tip side surface and the second rod tip side surface are continuous,
• the fishing line insertion portion does not extend beyond the second rod tip side surface along an axial direction of the rod,
• the rib protrudes from the first rod tip side surface but a height of the rib does not protrude beyond the second rod tip side surface toward the rod tip side,
• a width of the rib in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction and between a right side and a left side of the circular opening is wider on a fixed side with respect to the rod, and becomes narrower as the rib extends toward a fishing line insertion portion side, and
• an end surface on a rod tip side of the rib is coplanar with the first rod tip side surface and the second rod tip side surface.
