BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fishing rod, and more particularly to a rod butt cap mounted on the lower end of a fishing rod.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A fishing rod has a rod end cap attached to the end of the fishing rod. In particular, in the case of a swing-out rod, it is possible to remove the rod-end cap from the rod at hand and take out each divided rod, that is, each piece rod. Usually, a through hole is formed in the rod end cap for venting air, and when the swing rod is swung out from this through hole, no negative pressure is applied and it is easy to swing out.

By the way, in the case of an ayu rod, the swing-out rod generally has a relatively long base rod, so that the base rod is set up and a lower end of the base rod is pressed against the ground to attach a tackle, or I am feeding. In addition, even when the rod is stowed, an operation of pushing down each piece rod including the tip rod may be performed with the lower end portion of the original rod once dropped on the ground. In such a case, the rod butt cap attached to the end of the original rod becomes dirty, for example, fine dust, sand,
Soil and the like may enter the inside of the base rod through the through hole of the cap.

If such a foreign substance exists in the original rod, when the swing rod is swung out, it enters into the connecting portion of each piece rod and smooth swinging is not performed. In addition, if a foreign matter digs into the connection, it will cause the paint on the surface of the rod to be scratched when the foreign matter is put in the opposite way. In order to eliminate such an adverse effect, a cap provided with a storage space for dust and the like has been developed. In such a rod cap,
The dust that has entered through the through hole is thrown off into the internal space, collects, and is stored in the rod end cap, so it is difficult for it to enter the inside of the original rod.

Therefore, it is convenient because there is no hindrance to the operation of pulling out and swinging out the rod. However, such conventional rod end caps gradually accumulate dust and the like in the storage space during use. Then, when it accumulates to a certain extent, foreign matter such as dust will leak from the storage space to the inside of the rod. As described above, foreign matter such as dust that has leaked into the inside of the original rod is an obstacle to the operation of storing and swinging out the rod, which is troublesome. The present invention was invented under such a background.

[0006]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems. That is, an object of the present invention is to provide a rod butt cap in which foreign matter such as dust does not enter the fishing rod.

As a result, the inventors of the present invention have diligently studied to achieve the above object, and as a result, it is possible to remove accumulated materials from the storage space by making the storage space of the rod end cap freely openable. The present invention has been completed based on this finding.

That is, according to the present invention, in the rod end cap having the space for collecting foreign matters such as dust, the storage space can be opened, and the foreign matters such as dust accumulated in the storage space can be taken out. Exists in the pole butt cap. And 2,
A fishing rod butt cap having an air hole penetrating both of a cylindrical base portion and a rod butt rubber body, wherein the cylindrical base portion includes a base body having a space for storing dust therein and a rubber pad body. Is in the rod-end cap that can be fitted and removed from the base body. Also, 3, the fitting and removal of the base body and the rubber pad are performed by inserting a pair of small protrusions provided on the rubber pad into the pair of notches provided in the base body and rotating them. It exists in the rod-end cap of 2.

Further, 4, the ventilation hole of the rod end rubber body and the ventilation hole of the pad rubber body are arranged at a position displaced from each other 2,
It exists in the rod end cap. Further, it also exists in the rod end cap 5, which is provided with an insertion groove 5 for inserting the detaching tool into the rubber pad and rotating the same. Further, it also exists in the rod end cap 6 and 2 in which a knob portion for rotating the contact rubber body is provided. Moreover, it exists in the rod end cap 7 in which the rod end rubber body is detachable from the base body.

[0010]

Therefore, according to the present invention, since it has the above-mentioned structure, foreign matters such as dust sucked from the through hole by the outside air are collected in the storage space of the rod end cap. Then, foreign matters such as dust accumulated in the rod end cap can be taken out as needed. By using the rod end cap, foreign matter such as dust is surely prevented from entering the original rod.
