Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod having a plurality of rod bodies connected in a swing manner. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fishing rod in which specific rod bodies can be connected and fixed to each other in either a stored state or an extended state, and fishing can be performed by changing the length of the entire rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional swing-type fishing rod, a plurality of tubular rod bodies can be inserted into the rod body on the rod base side sequentially from the rod body on the tip side. When fishing, each rod body is sequentially pulled out toward the tip side, fitted and fixed, and used as one rod body. On the other hand, at the time of storage, the rod body on the tip side is sequentially stored in the rod body on the rod base side to provide a compact state.

Further, there are conventional swing-out type fishing rods which are devised so that fishing can be performed by changing the length of the entire rod. The fishing rod devised in this way has, for example, a main rod having a fitting female portion on the inner peripheral surface of the tip side end and a first fitting male portion on the outer peripheral surface of the rod base side end, while being near the center in the longitudinal direction. And an upper rod having a second fitting male portion on the outer peripheral surface thereof. Then, in this type of fishing rod, in the state where the original rod connected to the tip side of the original rod is pulled out to the tip side (hereinafter referred to as "extended state"),
In a state in which the fitting female portion is fitted to the first fitting male portion and the upper rod is inserted into the original rod (hereinafter referred to as "stored state"), the fitting female portion becomes the second fitting male portion. It can be fitted.

In this way, the base rod and the base rod can be fitted and fixed to each other in any of the "extended state" and the "stored state", and the length of the entire rod is changed according to the situation. Can be done.

[0005]

By the way, a fishing line guide for guiding the fishing line from the reel is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the fishing rod at intervals in the axial direction. By arranging such fishing line guides at appropriate intervals in the axial direction, the fishing line is smoothly guided. However, with conventional fishing rods that have been devised so that fishing can be performed by changing the length of the entire rod,
Since the axial length of the rod body changes between the stretched state and the stored state, the axial distance between the fishing line guides also changes. That is, in the stretched state, since the positional relationship of the rod body extends in the axial direction, there is insufficient fishing line guide that supports the fishing line in the partially stretched range, and the axial interval that supports the fishing line is unduly long. There is a risk of becoming. If the axial distance for supporting the fishing line is increased in this way, problems may occur in smooth guiding of the fishing line, such as the fishing line coming into contact with the circumferential surface of the rod body due to wind.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod which enables a smooth fishing operation while adjusting the entire length of the fishing rod.
