Abrégé

As a result of the development of a range of modular fishing rods, it has become possible to produce a number of different rod styles from a relative small number of modular fishing rod components. Alongside this development is the growing trend of people interested in fishing to travel and to explore different fishing experiences. This has created a need for a safe and convenient way to store and transport modular fishing rods, or rod sets. The present invention provides a transportation container for a modular fishing rod primarily comprising four hinged panels that can be opened out to gain easy access, and then folded together to provide a strong carry case having a rigid triangular cross section. The container has an inside surface that can secure parts of a modular fishing rod in a spaced apart arrangement and/or secure inserts having slots which perform a similar function.

Abrégé

Modular fishing rods comprise a number of sections of rod that are fitted together. Some form of keying is helpful to ensure that the sections of rod are each aligned correctly relative to one another. However, since the components of the rods are often made of composite material it is often difficult to form a robust keying feature. The invention provides a joint for a modular fishing rod that includes a robust and simple to align triangular keying feature, with the triangular feature having radiused corners. A butt end of a fishing rod is provided with a socket, with at least a part of the socket having a substantially triangular cross section, and a male end of a fishing rod end module also includes a complimentary substantially triangular keying feature configured to engage with the socket. The joint facilitates the assembly of modular fishing rods for a range of fishing styles.
