Fishing rod

A fishing rod comprising:

• a single seat base disposed to cover a rod stock and defining a first opening edge and a second opening edge;
• a fixed hood formed integral with said seat base wherein said fixed hood is adjacent to said second opening edge so as to engage a forward leg of a fishing reel;
• a movable hood disposed adjacent to said first opening edge comprising a threaded portion at an outer peripheral surface thereof, said movable hood being accommodated within a guide hole formed in said seat base, said outer peripheral surface of said movable hood being placed in contact with an inner surface of said seat base adjacent to said first opening edge so as to restrict said movable hood from moving radially of the axis of said fishing rod;
• and
• a rotatable adjusting element, relatively rotatably mounted on said seat base and extending from a small diameter portion of said seat base to said rod stock, said rotatable adjusting element defining an internal screw throughout an inside wall thereof opposed to said small diameter portion of the seat base, said adjusting element being rotatable about said rod axis while maintaining a position thereof along said rod axis so as to adjust a position of said movable hood along said rod axis thereby retaining said rearward leg of said fishing reel;
• wherein said first and second opening edges are inclined, in side view, with respect to said axis of the fishing rod, with said second opening edge having a sharper slant then said first opening edge.
