Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod suitable for lure fishing such as a lure rod and a fly rod, and more particularly to a structure around a grip of the fishing rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a fishing rod of this type, the base end portion of a rod is inserted into a grip and the grip is gripped. FIG. 4 shows a configuration example of a conventional fishing rod, particularly around the grip thereof. This example is a so-called blank through structure, in which a blank (carbon rod) 2 inserted into the insertion hole 1 a of the grip 1 penetrates the grip 1. The base end 2a of the blank 2 projects from the opening end of the insertion hole 1a of the grip 1, and the rubber cap 3 is attached to the base end 2a.

A reel seat 4 for mounting a reel 5 is arranged at an appropriate position in the middle of the grip 1. Here, a detailed description of the reel 5 and its mounting structure will be omitted. At the time of actual use, an operation (rod action) such as moving the tip of the rod up and down is performed by gripping a suitable position of the grip 1 near the mounted reel 5.

[0004]

By the way, in the conventional fishing rod, the blank 2 is made of a carbon material.
When the rigidity of the blank 2 is excessively high, there is a risk of breakage (particularly, the joint portion of the blank 2 in the grip 1 is easily broken), so that the blank 2 is appropriately soft or flexible. In other words, it is more convenient to increase the rigidity in order to increase the sensitivity of hitting the fish, but the rigidity must be set low. Therefore, when a fish is caught, the rod action lacks a sense of rigidity, resulting in a feeling of fluttering operation.

In recent years, in this type of carbon rod, the blank 2 tends to have a small diameter. In the case of the blank through structure in which the blank 2 is directly inserted into the grip 1 as shown in FIG. 4, the fish has a hit (because the vibration at the hit is well transmitted to the hand because the rigidity is relatively low as described above). Blank), or the blank 2 bends to the vicinity of the grip 1, that is, the rod has a weak waist.

Further, when a small-diameter blank 2 is used for the insertion hole 1a of the grip 1, a masking tape 12 is wrapped around the blank 2 as shown in FIG. 5, or a cork material, foam rubber or the like is packed. Used in. However, when such tape 12 is wound,
Since the tape 12 or the like itself is soft, it is difficult to secure rigidity, which may cause rattling between the grip 1 and the blank 2. In addition, since the portion around which the tape 12 or the like is wound is not sufficiently waterproof, there is a risk that the portion may be flooded after long-term use. Then, when a load is applied, there is a problem in that an axis shift occurs, causing blurring during casting.

In view of the above situation, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fishing rod which can secure appropriate rigidity in this type of carbon rod and can effectively improve the sensitivity of hitting and the like.

[0008]

The fishing rod according to the present invention comprises:
A fishing rod in which a base end portion of a rod is inserted into a grip so as to hold the grip, wherein the grip has an insertion hole for inserting the rod, and a pipe-shaped frame is provided in the insertion hole. The rod is fitted and the rod is inserted into the grip via the frame.

Further, in the fishing rod according to the present invention, the base end portion of the rod inserted into the frame is arranged apart from the grip end, and a certain sealed space is set in the frame.

Further, in the fishing rod of the present invention, a pipe-shaped adjuster is fitted in a predetermined region of an end portion of the frame opposite to the grip end, and the rod is attached to the grip through the adjuster and the frame. It is designed to be inserted.

Further, in the fishing rod of the present invention, a winding check is attached to an end portion of the frame.

[0012]

According to the present invention, a frame made of, for example, carbon is fitted in the insertion hole of the grip, and the rod is inserted through this frame. In this case, the base end portion of the rod is arranged apart from the grip end. As a result, unlike the conventional blank-through structure, a certain sealed space is set in the frame, so that it is possible to secure high rigidity and realize a fishing rod with a high rigidity. Further, even if a rod having a small diameter is used, it is possible to accurately and accurately attach it to the grip without winding a masking tape unlike the conventional structure. As a result, it is possible to improve the sensitivity of hits and the like and to ensure a smooth and appropriate rod action.

Further, according to the present invention, the base end of the rod inserted into the grip is disposed apart from the grip end. That is, by setting a certain sealed space between the base end of the rod and the grip end, the vibration when the fish hits can be efficiently transmitted to the hand, and good sensitivity can be obtained.

[0014]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Preferred embodiments of a fishing rod according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 by using the same reference numerals for members that are substantially the same as or corresponding to those of the conventional example.

First, in the basic structure of this embodiment,
The grip 1 is formed with an insertion hole 1a for inserting the blank 2 made of a carbon rod. Further, a reel seat 4 for mounting a reel 5 (see FIG. 4) is arranged at an appropriate position in the middle of the grip 1. The grip 1 can be formed of a rubber material, a cork material, wood, or the like.

A pipe-shaped carbon frame 6 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the insertion hole 1a. This frame 6
It extends from the end of the grip 1 (grip end) to the vicinity of the end of the reel seat 4. In this example, the frame 6 is preferably formed of "wooben carbon cloth" (braidable carbon fiber) or non-braidable carbon material. The frame 6 can also be formed of a material such as boron or "Kevlar", glass fiber, synthetic resin or a mixture thereof (reinforced plastic), and metal. The frame 6 has an insertion hole 1a.
It is fixed by an adhesive so as to be in close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the.

Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the frame 6, a pipe-shaped adjuster 7 made of, for example, carbon is provided in a predetermined region of the end portion on the side opposite to the grip end, that is, in a length region substantially corresponding to the reel seat 4 in this example. Is stuck. The adjuster 7 can be formed by using a material similar to that of the frame 6, that is, a braided carbon fiber or a non-braided carbon material, boron, “Kevlar”, glass fiber, or synthetic resin. Alternatively, a mixture thereof (reinforced plastic) or a material such as metal can be used.

The blank 2 is provided with an adjuster 7 as shown.
To the end position, and thus is inserted and supported by the grip 1 via the adjuster 7 and the frame 6. The adjuster 7 is a grip 1
This is effective when the blank 2 has a relatively small diameter with respect to the insertion hole 1a of the adjuster 7 depending on the diameter of the blank 2.
Sometimes you don't have to use. That is, this adjuster 7
Are selectively used as needed.

At the opening end of the insertion hole 1a of the grip 1,
The metal grip end 8 is fixed. The grip end 8 is a fitting portion 8 a that is fitted into the insertion hole 1 a of the grip 1.

As is clear from the figure, the base end 2a of the blank 2 is arranged apart from the fitting portion 8a of the grip end 8, that is, between the base end 2a of the blank 2 and the fitting portion 8a of the grip end 8, A fixed sealed space or space is formed in the frame 6.

A rubber protector 9 is attached to the end surface of the grip end 8. The protector 9 is bonded to the end surface of the grip end 8. Here, as a material for forming the grip end 8, aluminum, brass, or a mixed alloy of these metals and lead is suitable. Further, the grip end 8 may be surface-treated by, for example, alumite processing, or may be plated to form an appropriate pattern.

In the fishing rod of the present invention according to this embodiment, the blank 2 is inserted into the insertion hole 1a of the grip 1 through the frame 6. In this case, the base end 2 of the blank 2
The a is arranged apart from the grip end 8, and thus, unlike the conventional blank through structure, a fixed sealed space is set in the frame 6. As described above, by reliably supporting the blank 2 by the frame 6 or via the adjuster 7 as necessary, high rigidity can be secured and a fishing rod with a strong waist can be realized.

In this case, even in the case of the blank 2 having a small diameter, the mask 1 can be accurately inserted into the grip 1 with high bonding strength and without rattling, without winding a masking tape as in the conventional structure. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a high sense of rigidity in the rod action and improve the sensitivity such as hitting. Further, the blank 2 can be accurately inserted without using a masking tape or the like as in the conventional case, and since it has a high waterproof property, there is no fear of corrosion or the like. As a result, a smooth and accurate rod action can be guaranteed.

Further, according to the present invention, the base end 2a of the blank 2 inserted into the grip 1 is arranged apart from the grip end 8 and a sealed space is set in the frame 6 so that when the fish hits. The vibration of can be efficiently transmitted to the hand, and good sensitivity can be obtained. That is, it is possible to amplify the vibration at the time of hitting, which cannot be realized by the conventional blank through structure, through such a sealed space, and it is possible to obtain an accurate hit feeling when gripping the grip 1. In addition, by improving the sensitivity of the rod in this way, it is possible to not only grasp the condition of the "bottom" of the fishing ground (sandy state or the state of algae overgrowth), but also accurately grasp the subtle feeling of the fish. You can
