PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing rod having a firmly joining structure to prevent the careless slipping-out of rod sections.SOLUTION: The fishing rod includes a joining portion 10 for inserting the second rod having a small diameter into the tubular portion of the first rod having a large diameter to join the first rod to the second rod. The joining portion 10 includes a joining region S1 for contact-joining the inside of the first rod to the outside of the second rod on the butt side of the first rod apart from an opening portion, and a slip-off stopping region S2 in which the inside of the first rod faces the tapered outside of the second rod, and a slip-off stopping means for preventing the slipping-off of the second rod from the first rod is disposed, on the opening portion side apart from the joining region S1.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】不用意に抜け難く、継合構造が堅固な釣竿を提供する。【解決手段】大径の第一の竿杆の管状部内に小径の第二の竿杆を挿入して継ぎ合わせる継合部10を備えた釣竿であって、継合部10は、第一の竿杆の開口部よりも元側において、第一の竿杆の内面と第二の竿杆の外面とが当接して継合される継合領域S1と、継合領域S1よりも開口部側において、第一の竿杆の内面と第二の竿杆のテーパ状の外面とが対向し、第一の竿杆から第二の竿杆が抜けるのを防止するための抜止手段が設けられる抜止領域S2と、を具備して構成する。【選択図】図2
