Fishing reel seat

1 . A fishing reel seat that is configured to fix a reel stand of a fishing reel comprising the reel stand and a reel leg in an up-lock manner, the fishing reel seat comprising:

a cylindrical resin reel seat main body that comprises a fixing hood that is configured to receive a part of the reel stand and a hollow portion into which a rod is inserted;

a resin floating hood that that is configured to receive another part of the reel stand and is movable in an axial direction with respect to the reel seat main body; and

an operation knob that is continuous with the floating hood and is able to fix the reel stand when the operating knob is rotated in a circumferential direction to move the floating hood in the axial direction toward the tip of the rod, wherein

the floating hood has a front end face that faces the reel seat main body and is angled so that the front end face protrudes farther in the axial direction toward the rod tip as the front end face extends from an upper portion of the front end face, which is located on an opposite side of the floating hood, toward a lowest portion of the front end face, which is configured to extend beyond the reel leg when the reel stand is inserted into and fixed to the floating hood and the fixing hood, such that the lowest portion of the front end face protrudes farther in the axial direction toward the rod tip than any other portion of the front end face, and

an axial length of the floating hood is larger than an axial length of the operation knob.

2 . The fishing reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein

an outer peripheral surface of the floating hood on the side of the upper portion and an outer peripheral surface of the reel seat main body on the side of an upper portion are flush with each other.

3 . The fishing reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein

the operation knob has a female screw formed on an inner surface thereof and is rotatable in a circumferential direction by screwing with a male screw formed in the reel seat main body, and an axial length of a screwing portion in which the male screw and the female screw are engaged is less than half of a sum of axial lengths of the floating hood and the operation knob.

4 . The fishing reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein an insertion depth of the reel stand in each of the fixing hood and the floating hood is 25 to 35 mm.

5 . The fishing reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the front end face and a center longitudinal axis of the floating hood form an angle, and wherein the angle has a value in a range of from 30° to 60°.

6 . The fishing reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the front end face and a center longitudinal axis of the floating hood form an angle, and wherein the angle has a value in a range of from 40° to 50°.

7 . The fishing reel seat according to claim 1 , wherein the cylindrical resin reel seat main body includes a rear end face that faces the floating hood and is angled so that an upper portion of the rear end face, which is configured to be farthest from the reel leg when the reel stand is inserted into and fixed to the floating hood and the fixing hood, protrudes in the axial direction farther toward the base of the rod than a lower portion of the rear end face that is located on an opposite side of the cylindrical resin main body.

8 . A fishing rod combination that includes (i) the fishing reel seat according to claim 1 ; (ii) the rod, which is inserted into the cylindrical resin reel seat main body; and (iii) the fishing reel.

9 . The fishing rod combination according to claim 8 , wherein the fixing hood and the floating hood are configured to cover the reel stand up to the reel leg when the reel stand is inserted into and fixed to the fixing hood and the floating hood.

10 . The fishing rod combination according to claim 8 , wherein the fishing reel is a spinning reel.
