Abstract
An intraline fishing rod includes a hollow rod pipe having an internal surface and an external surface. A plurality of line guide protrusions protrude radially inwardly from the internal surface. Each of the line guide protrusions has front and rear ends, an apex, and front and rear slopes. A water-repellent layer is provided to extend continuously between the line guide protrusions, thereby entirely covering the front and rear ends, the apices and the front and rear slopes of the line guide protrusions and the internal surface of the rod pipe.
