In a reel seat of the present disclosure, a position of a reel leg placement portion on which a reel leg of a fishing reel is placed is offset in a descending direction with respect to a position of an axial center of a rod. An inclined surface connecting an upper end position of a hood portion defining an opening of a fixed hood to a grip upper surface gripped on the rear side of the fishing reel is provided on the rear side of the fishing reel attached to and fixed to the reel leg placement portion, and the inclined surface is formed such that an inclination angle α of rising toward the grip upper surface from the upper end position of the hood portion does not exceed 45° and an inclination angle β of descending from the grip upper surface does not exceed 35° in side view.

A fishing rod according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a rod body, and a fitting mounted on the outer peripheral surface of the rod body via a mounting portion of the fitting. A first fixing layer is formed to encircle the mounting portion and the rod body, and a second fixing layer is formed on the outer side of the first fixing layer. A coating layer made of a resin is formed on an outer side of the second fixing layer. In an embodiment, the coating layer is formed of a resin having a tensile elongation of 40% or more and a yield strain of 7% or more, both measured in conformity to JIS K 7161:2014, and the coating layer has a thickness of 1.3 mm or smaller.

A fishing rod according to one embodiment includes a rod body extending in a front-and-back direction along a central axis, a fitting having a mounting part, where the mounting part is mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the rod body at a first position determined in a circumferential direction around the central axis, and a fiber-reinforced resin layer surrounding the rod body so as to cover the mounting part. The fiber-reinforced resin layer has a first portion covering the rod body along an entire length thereof in the circumferential direction around the central axis and a second portion extending in the axial direction backward from an axially back end of the first portion and extending in the circumferential direction less than 180° clockwise from the first position and also less than 180° anti-clockwise from the first position.

One object is to provide a fishing rod in which stability in securing a fitting is achieved. The fishing rod includes a molded rod section having a surface and the fitting placed on the surface, the fitting having a securing portion and being secured to the surface with a sheet member made of a thermosetting resin that is wound on the securing portion and heat-cured. The sheet member includes a first sheet member and a second sheet member made of thermosetting resins, the first sheet member being placed or wound on the rod section, the second sheet member being wound over the first sheet member and the securing portion placed on the first sheet member. The thermosetting resins of the first sheet member and the second sheet member have different curing temperatures from each other.

An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod reel seat, a fishing rod handle member including the reel seat, and a fishing rod including the fishing rod reel seat and the fishing rod handle member, which are lightweight and hardly attenuate vibration from a rod body. A fishing rod handle member according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed by integrally molding a reel seat main body having a reel leg placing portion on which a reel leg is placed and a grip connected to the reel seat main body.
