Line guide assembly for fishing rods - comprises stamped metal plate with first loop encircling rod and second loop holding abrasion resistant ring for line

摘要

The main frame (10) is of an integral structure formed by application of stamping to a metallic plate and comprised of a guide ring (11), a seat ring (12) and an arm (13) for connecting the two rings (11 and 12). The guide ring (11) is used for passing the fishing line through whereas the seat ring (12) is used for coupling with the seat tube (20). For passing the fishing line, the guide ring (11) may be used either independently or in combination with an additional guide ring (30) and a cushion ring (40). Usually, the additional guide ring (30) is made of a material of a high abrasion resistance such as ceramics and the cushion ring (40) is made of an elastic material such as synthetic resins. The cushion ring is interposed between the main guide ring (11) and the additional guide ring (30).
