One object is to provide a reel seat allowing reinforcement of a hood for retaining a reel leg while maintaining the appearance and restricting the increase in weight, and a fishing rod having such a reel seat. A reel seat (12) according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed hood (16) for retaining one end of a reel leg on the reel seat body (12) hving a reel leg setting surface (14) on which the reel leg is to be set, and a fiber-reinforced resin sheet (40) is provided so as to extend over an inner wall of the fixed hood and the reel leg setting surface (14) forming an opening with the fixed hood (16) to accomodate said end of the reel leg. The reinforcement fibers may extend over the entire length of the fiber-reinforced resin sheet. The reinforcement fibers in the fiber-reinforced resin sheet (40) extend in a direction slanted or orthogonal with respect to a longitudinal direction of the rod.
