Abstract
A rod clamp for securing a reel to a rod comprises a clamp member for contacting a reel seat of the rod, a plurality of tightening members for tightening the clamp member to a reel foot of the reel, thereby to fix the reel to the reel seat of the rod sandwiched between the clamp member and reel foot, and a plurality of supporting projections formed of a material different from the clamp member and extending toward the reel seat for contacting the reel seat as does the clamp member. The projections are formed of an elastic material, thereby positively to prevent the reel and rod clamp from moving relative to rod surfaces.
