A fishing rod, comprising: a pipe-shaped frame; a reel seat provided on an outer peripheral surface of said frame; a cylindrical front grip spirally attached to a front end of said reel seat, the cylindrical front grip including a front grip body, a hood mounted at a rear end of the front grip body and a ring member inserted into an opening of a front end of the front grip body; a rod inserted into a front end of said pipe-shaped frame and penetrated through the reel seat and the cylindrical front grip, wherein said front grip is screwed into a reel seat side, to thereby make the hood on the rear end of said front grip engage with a reel on said reel seat so as to fix the reel thereon, wherein a front portion of said front grip is internally supported with said front grip being screwed into said reel seat side, wherein a pipe-shaped member is provided directly on an outer peripheral surface of said rod, such that when the front grip is screwed into said reel seat, the inside of the front end of said front grip directly engages said pipe-shaped member, wherein the pipe-shaped member includes a metal ring member on a front end thereof to prevent fluids from entering a gap between the frame and the rod, and wherein an inside diameter part of said ring member directly engages said pipe-shaped member.
