ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a fishing rod having a hollow handle for receiving the reel and a safety member is connected to the reel to prevent the button on the reel from being unintentionally touched.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
A conventional combination of a fishing rod
140
and a reel
100
is shown in FIG.
7
and the reel
100
is fixedly mounted to the fishing
140
by a clamp and a bolt (not shown). The reel
100
protrudes from the fishing rod
140
so that it occupies a larger space which is inconvenient for the user to store. In order to store the fishing rod
140
and the reel
100
in a compact pack, the reel
100
has to be disengaged from the rod
140
and this requires a tool to unscrew the bolt. Besides, the reel
100
has a button
130
engaged with a slot
120
in the casing
111
of the reel
100
so as to stop the mandrel assembly
110
in the casing
111
. The button
130
could be touched unintentionally during operating the fishing rod
140
and the reel
100
and therefore affects the fishing action.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a fishing reel receiving device which comprises a sleeve having a first hole and a second hole in which an end of a fishing rod is engaged. An open end is defined in the other end of the sleeve and two ribs extend radially inward from an inner periphery of the open end. A reel has two engaging slots defined in an outer periphery of the reel so as to receive the two ribs when the reel is engaged with the open end. A fishing line wound on the mandrel of the reel extends from the first hole in the sleeve.
The primary object of the present invention is to provide a sleeve which is connected to a handle of a fishing rod and the reel is engaged with the sleeve so as to reduce the space that the fishing rod and the reel occupy.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a safety member that prevents the button on the reel from being pushed unintentionally.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
