DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod, and more particularly to a grip shape thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fishing rod is a tool for assisting fighting in the event of a fish hit, in addition to tackling and lure casting. In particular, in the case of a fishing rod intended for a large fish, it is desirable that the grip has a structure such that the lure can be cast accurately to a long distance and that the angler can reliably hold the lure during a fight.

In order to perform casting well, it is generally advantageous that the outer diameter of the grip of a fishing rod is small. On the other hand, for good fighting, the outer diameter of the grip is preferably larger. In response to such conflicting demands, some conventional fishing rods are provided with a grip having a diameter small enough not to hinder casting and having a diameter small enough not to hinder fighting.

However, in a fishing rod having a grip having such a shape, both the operability of casting and the operability of fighting have to be sacrificed to some extent. In order to achieve both, a mechanism that can freely change the outer diameter of the grip may be realized.
It is difficult to realize simple, lightweight and inexpensive. It is also conceivable that the grip has a small diameter and, for example, an adapter or the like is attached during fighting so that the grip has a large diameter.However, it is difficult to attach such an adapter after a fish hits. Also, attaching and detaching the adapter is troublesome.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod capable of improving the operability of both casting and fighting.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present inventor has considered that the above object can be achieved by devising the shape of the grip of the fishing rod.

Therefore, a fishing rod according to the present application comprises a fishing rod body,
A fishing rod having a grip for supporting a base end thereof, wherein the grip is formed so as to form a predetermined finger insertion space between the grip body and the grip body and cover the outside of the grip body. And a surrounding member formed with an opening for inserting a finger into the finger insertion space.

According to this configuration, the grip portion of the fishing rod is
Since the surrounding member is arranged outside the grip body, a large-diameter surrounding member is provided so as to surround the small-diameter grip body. Therefore, at the time of casting, good casting can be performed by inserting a finger into the finger insertion space from the opening of the surrounding member and gripping the small-diameter grip main body. Further, at the time of fighting, the fishing rod can be reliably held by gripping the large-diameter surrounding member or sandwiching it around the side.

In particular, the clearance between the grip body and the surrounding member in the finger insertion space can be set to 25 mm to 40 mm. By setting such dimensions, it is possible to easily insert and remove the finger into and out of the finger insertion space, and to reduce the outer diameter of the surrounding member. That is, when the gap size is reduced, insertion of a finger becomes difficult, and when the gap size is increased, the outer diameter of the surrounding member becomes unnecessarily large. In addition, the outer diameter of the surrounding member can be set to a size suitable for fighting while the finger can be easily inserted and removed.

[0010] The outer diameter of the surrounding member is 70 mm or more.
It is preferable to set it to 110 mm. By setting such dimensions, the fishing rod can be favorably held.

Further, the surrounding member can be constituted by a semi-cylindrical member. By making the surrounding member have such a shape, the surrounding member can be easily manufactured, and the finger can be easily inserted and removed, and the fishing rod can be held favorably.
