Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a fishing rod used for fishing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional fishing rod is formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of tapered cylindrical rods obtained by firing a prepreg obtained by impregnating reinforcing fibers such as carbon fibers with a thermosetting synthetic resin. . Each rod body has a smaller diameter as it is located on the tip side, and the diameter is gradually reduced from the rod side to the tip side.
By changing the diameter of the rod body in this way, the bending degree of the entire fishing rod is adjusted so that the rod body located on the tip side bends better.

[0003]

In the conventional fishing rod, the rod body located on the tip side has a small diameter, so that the rod body on the tip side is naturally lighter. As described above, when the rod body on the tip side is reduced in weight, the so-called "swing tone" of a fishing rod is reduced, and it becomes difficult to put a gimmick at a target point. On the other hand, if the thickness or the diameter of the rod body is increased to suppress the weight reduction of the rod body located on the tip side, the balance of the degree of bending of the rod body is impaired.

[0004] It is an object of the present invention to provide a fishing rod which ensures a good degree of bending and also has an excellent swing condition.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems The fishing rod according to the invention 1 is:
A fishing rod used for fishing, comprising a plurality of tapered cylindrical rod bodies connected sequentially, and a weight disposed in a hollow inside the rod body. In this fishing rod, when a load is applied from a mechanism connected to the tip side, a good degree of bending is produced such that the tapered cylindrical rod body bends more toward the tip side. On the other hand, the weight placed in the hollow inside the rod produces a moderate weight,
Improves the "swing tone" of fishing rods. As a result, it is easy to insert the device into the target point while having a good degree of bending, and the handling of the fishing rod is also facilitated.

A fishing rod according to a second aspect is the fishing rod according to the first aspect, wherein the weight is a rubber member. In this case, a rubber member is arranged as a weight inside the rod body. The rubber member has elasticity by itself and bends together with the rod inside the rod in accordance with the deflection of the rod, and does not greatly hinder the degree of bending of the rod. By imparting an appropriate weight to the rod body while ensuring a good degree of bending of the rod body, the "swing condition" of the fishing rod is improved.

[0007] The rubber member is, for example, a member molded in advance as a cylindrical member that fits into the hollow at a predetermined position of the rod body, and is inserted from the end of the rod body after the rod body is manufactured, and is disposed. The fluidized rubber material may be injected into a hollow at a predetermined position of the rod body and solidified. A fishing rod according to a third aspect of the present invention is the fishing rod of the first aspect, wherein the weight is a bag material in which a powder material is filled.

In this case, a bag material is disposed as a weight inside the rod body. The bag material is filled with a powder material, and bends together with the rod inside the rod in accordance with the bending of the rod, so that the degree of bending of the rod is not largely disturbed. By imparting an appropriate weight to the rod body while ensuring a good degree of bending of the rod body, the "swing condition" of the fishing rod is improved. In addition,
As the powder material, known materials such as metal powder, glass powder, and synthetic resin powder can be used.

A fishing rod according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is the fishing rod according to any one of the first to third aspects, wherein the fishing rod is configured by sequentially connecting a plurality of rod bodies, and the weight is a rod body located on the tip side. Are located in In this case, the "weight swing" of the fishing rod is improved by giving an appropriate weight to the small-diameter rod body on the tip side while ensuring a good degree of bending of the entire fishing rod.
