Method for manufacturing fishing rods, in particular of a modular type, basically comprising the steps of forming a tubular element (10) by winding on a core at least a layer (11) of composite material impregnated with synthetic resin, of applying on the tubular element a film to contain the impregnated composite material (11), of thermoforming the tubular element (10) and of eliminating the containment film. The composite material layer (11) impregnated with synthetic resin is coated, at least partially, with a layer (12) of non-woven fabric (TNT) in which are embedded particles of ceramic material such as alumina oxide, and the layers (11, 12) are wound on the core so as to overlap the edges of said layers along a generatrix substantially parallel to the tubular element axis.
