Fishing rod with a pre-inserted fishing line guide member.

摘要

The invention provides a fishing rod with a pre-inserted fishing line guide member which can reduce the resistance of a fishing line during casting and reeling operations. Thereby an operator is able to play out and draw in the fishing line smoothly. In the fishing rod, the whole periphery of the inner surface of a fishing line guide cylinder is mounted on the leading end portion of a fishing rod pipe. The line guide is enlarged in diameter more greatly than the inner periphery contour of the leading end portion of the fishing rod pipe when the latter is extended in the direction of the axis of the rod pipe. The lower inner surface of the fishing line guide cylinder is downwardly shifted with respect to the fishing rod end pipe and enlarged in diameter more greatly than the oppositely located and upwardly enlarged diameter of the upper inner surface with respect to the axis of the fishing rod. A wear resisting guide member including an inner peripheral surface formed as a curved surface may also be mounted on the leading end portion of the enlarged lower inner surface of the fishing line guide cylinder. In addition, a second wear resisting fishing line guide member can be mounted near or to the terminal end of the fishing rod pipe to further reduce wear and contact between the fishing line and the end portion of the rod pipe. A selected one of several of the fishing line guides can be chosen for a given fishing condition by virtue of the removable attachment of the fishing line guide to the fishing rod end pipe. <IMAGE>
