A fishing rod with which, even when fishing large fish or fish demonstrating strong tugs, fishing can be performed comfortably even if the angler's physical strength is small. The fishing rod is arranged such that a portion of the fishing rod ranging from a portion close to a butt portion of the fishing rod to a rod tip is formed by a solid rod having a region where a fiber-reinforced plastic prepreg in which reinforced fibers are stretched and arranged mainly in one direction is wound around and integrated with a surface of a solid member using a resin as a matrix and reinforced mainly by reinforced fibers generally oriented in an axial direction, in such a manner that a direction of the reinforced fibers of the prepreg is generally oriented in the axial direction.

Fishing rod

A fishing rod with which, even when fishing for large fish or for fish demonstrating strong pulls, fishing can be performed comfortably even if the angler's physical strength is small. The fishing rod is arranged such that a portion of the fishing rod ranging from a portion close to a butt portion of the fishing rod to a rod tip is formed by a solid rod having a region with a fiber-reinforced plastic prepreg in which reinforced fibers are stretched and arranged mainly in one direction is wound around and integrated with a surface of a solid member using a resin as a matrix and reinforced mainly by reinforced fibers generally oriented in an axial direction, in such a manner that a direction of the reinforced fibers of the prepreg is generally oriented in the axial direction.

The invention relates to a fishing rod with pre-inserted fishing line guide members. A prepreg formed of a high-strength fiber impregnated or mixed with resin is wound to form the rod pipe. A plurality of wide fishing line guide members each having a flat-shaped section are fixed integrally to the inner peripheral surface of the rod pipe, the inner peripheral side portions of the wide fishing line guide members are respectively projected inwardly from the rod pipe inner peripheral surface, and the outer portions of the rod pipe existing in the wide fishing line guide fixed portions are respectively bulged outwardly and widely. The fishing line guide members are strongly fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the rod pipe without lowering the strength of the rod pipe.
