Fishing rod of reel mounting type

Abstract

The present fishing rod comprises a pair of hood portions (14, 16) which are respectively disposed back and forth in such a manner that they are opposed to each other, while the two hood portions (14, 16) respectively include openings for receiving the leg of the reel. At least one of the pair of hood portions, that is, the hood portion (16) is of a movable type, while the movable hood portion (16) can be moved back and forth as a nut member (18) is rotated. The present fishing rod further comprises elastic mechanism (20, 22) and an engaging portion (24) which are respectively so disposed as to extend between two of three elements, that is, a main body portion (12) fixedly secured to a rod pipe (10), the nut member (18) and movable hood portion (16): in particular, the elastic mechanism (20, 22) are formed in one of the above two elements, that is, the main body portion (12); and, the engaging portion (24) is formed in the other, that is, the nut member (18) in such a manner that the elastic mechanism (20, 22) can be removably engaged with the engaging portion (24) by a given force. The elastic portion (22) of the elastic mechanism is formed considerably larger than the engaging portion (24), or the free portion of the elastic mechanism (20, 22) that is not restricted by the engaging portion (24) is formed larger than the portion of the elastic mechanism (20, 22) that is contacted with and restricted by the engaging portion (24).
