Abstract
A fishing rod includes a fixed hood formed on a rod body, a movable hood having an inner threaded portion engageable with a threaded portion of the rod body. The fixed hood and the movable hood together form a reel seat for supporting opposed ends of a foot of a reel. At an inner peripheral face of the movable hood where the one longitudinal end of the reel foot is engaged, there is formed a threaded guide groove having a pitch corresponding to a pitch of the inner threaded portion. And, a contact face is also defined in the inner peripheral face of the movable hood facing the fixed hood. The contact face comes into contact with a terminal edge of the reel foot in a direction substantially normal to an axis of the inner threaded portion.
