## Abstract

In a reel seat of the present disclosure, a position of a reel leg placement portion on which a reel leg of a fishing reel is placed is offset in a descending direction with respect to a position of an axial center of a rod. An inclined surface connecting an upper end position of a hood portion defining an opening of a fixed hood to a grip upper surface gripped on the rear side of the fishing reel is provided on the rear side of the fishing reel attached to and fixed to the reel leg placement portion, and the inclined surface is formed such that an inclination angle α of rising toward the grip upper surface from the upper end position of the hood portion does not exceed 45° and an inclination angle β of descending from the grip upper surface does not exceed 35° in side view.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A reel seat comprising a seat body including a reel leg placement portion on which a reel leg of a fishing reel is placed, a fixed hood provided on a rear side of the reel leg placement portion in an axial direction, and a moving hood provided on a front side of the reel leg placement portion in the axial direction, a position of the reel leg placement portion being offset in a descending direction with respect to a position of an axial center of a rod when the seat body is fixed to the rod, the reel seat comprising:
an inclined surface provided on a rear side of the fishing reel attached to and fixed to the reel leg placement portion and connecting an upper end position of a hood portion defining an opening of the fixed hood to a grip upper surface gripped on the rear side of the fishing reel,
wherein the inclined surface is formed such that an inclination angle of rising toward the grip upper surface from the upper end position of the hood portion does not exceed 45° and an inclination angle of descending from the grip upper surface does not exceed 35° in side view.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The reel seat according to claim 1, wherein the inclined surface is formed as a curved surface that rises and ascends from the upper end position of the hood portion and whose inclination is gentler at a position closer to the grip upper surface side.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

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 is formed to be flat.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

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 depressed.

### Claim 5

A reel seat comprising a seat body including a reel leg placement portion on which a reel leg of a fishing reel is placed, a fixed hood provided on a rear side of the reel leg placement portion in an axial direction, and a moving hood provided on a front side of the reel leg placement portion in the axial direction, a position of the reel leg placement portion being offset in a descending direction with respect to a position of an axial center of a rod when the seat body is fixed to the rod, the reel seat comprising:
an inclined surface provided on a rear side of the fishing reel attached to and fixed to the reel leg placement portion and connecting an upper end position of a hood portion defining an opening of the fixed hood to a grip upper surface gripped on the rear side of the fishing reel,
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 depressed.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The reel seat according to claim 1,
wherein a trigger is formed on a side of the seat body opposite to the grip upper surface so as to protrude from a position corresponding to the upper end position of the hood portion while being curved.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The reel seat according to claim 1,
wherein a bulging portion that bulges in a radial direction along the axial direction on a side opposite to the grip upper surface and whose inside is a cavity is formed in the seat body.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The reel seat according to claim 1,
wherein the seat body is integrally formed of a hard resin material or a fiber-reinforced resin material.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

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