Abstract
A guide for use on a fishing rod includes a guide ring placed in contact with an outer surface of a rod stock for guiding a fishing line, and a holder for fixing the guide ring to the rod stock. The guide is manufactured by placing the guide ring in contact with an outer surface of the rod stock, arranging dies to surround the guide ring and rod stock, and injecting a plastic inside the dies, thereby forming the holder from the plastic. As an alternative to the use of dies, prepreg may be wound in a way to fasten the guide ring to the rod stock, and baked to harden, thereby forming the holder.
