PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce further the weights of a fishing rod reel seat and a fishing rod having the reel seat.SOLUTION: A cylindrical hood 16 for a fishing rod reel seat comprises: a leg holding portion 56, into which the end portion of a reel leg is inserted and in which a part in a circumferential direction bulges radially outward at one end side in the rod axis direction to hold the end portion and a plurality of reinforced fiber layers formed into a cylindrical shape by overlapping both side edge parts of a prepreg having reinforced fibers impregnated with a resin. The overlapping parts of the prepreg in the individual reinforced fiber layers are located at positions indicated by marks P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5, are positioned in a portion 90 other than a portion having a leg holding portion 56 formed in the circumferential direction, and are disposed while having positional deviations from one another in the circumferential direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】釣竿用リールシート及びそれを備えた釣竿の更なる軽量化。【解決手段】リール脚の端部が挿入されてそれを保持すべく、竿軸方向一端側に周方向の一部が径方向外側に膨出した脚保持部56を備えている釣竿用リールシートの筒状フード16であって、強化繊維に樹脂を含浸させたプリプレグの両側縁部同士を重ね合わせて筒状とした強化繊維層を複数層備え、各強化繊維層におけるプリプレグの重ね合わせ部が、符号P1,P2,P3,P4,P5で示す位置にあって、周方向のうち脚保持部56が形成された箇所以外の箇所90に位置すると共に、互いに周方向に位置ずれして配置されている。【選択図】図7
