PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a luminous fishing rod capable of safely and effectively providing a good catch of fish at a low running cost in sea fishing in an early morning and evening, and at night.SOLUTION: The fishing rod is formed by winding a carbon fiber or the like around a steel core bar (a mandrel) 1 a number of times, while performing heat treatment to form a body (a blank rod) 5 of the fishing rod. The luminous rod is formed by sprayingly applying microfine luminescent power to a final wind carbon fiber (prepreg) 2 by air gun 3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】早朝・夕刻・夜間の海釣り等で、ランニングコストが低く、安全に効果的な釣果ができる光る釣り竿の提供。【解決手段】釣竿は鉄製の芯金(マンドレル)1にカーボン繊維等を熱処理しながら何回も巻きつけて釣り竿の本体部分(ブランクス竿)5を作成する最終の巻きつけカーボン繊維(プリプレグ)2に、超微粒蓄光パウダーをエアーガン3で吹き付け塗装して光る釣り竿を作成する。【選択図】図1
