1. A fishing rod comprising
a hollow rod extending from a first end to a second end along a central axis of the hollow rod; and
a shaft member with an outer peripheral surface inclined with respect to the central axis inserted into the hollow rod from the first end, and that is supported by an inner peripheral surface of the hollow rod at a support position on the inner peripheral surface,
wherein the inner peripheral surface of the hollow rod defines a virtual curve extending between the support position and an end position of the inner peripheral surface at the first end,
wherein the inner peripheral surface of the hollow rod has at least one convex portion protruding toward the central axis from the virtual curve,
wherein the end position is disposed radially outward from the support position, and
wherein a virtual line extending between the end position and the support position on the inner peripheral surface is inclined with respect to the central axis at a first angle greater than a second angle between the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member and the central axis such that an open space is formed between the inner peripheral surface of the hollow rod and the outer peripheral surface of the shaft member that is adjacent to the inner peripheral surface of the hollow rod on both axial sides of the support position.
