PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing rod including an ear tip having characteristics being flexible and hard to be damaged, and capable of providing the characteristics at a required portion at a required degree.SOLUTION: A fishing rod 1 includes an ear tip 12 made of fiber-reinforced resin. The ear tip 12 includes: a continuous fiber-reinforced resin part 62 formed by continuously aligning reinforcement fibers from a base end to the tip end thereof and a discontinuous fiber-reinforced resin part 60 that is joined with the tip end of the continuous fiber-reinforced resin part 62 and formed by distributing staples with a content of 3-50 wt.% to a matrix resin material.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】柔らかく破損し難い特性を有するとともに、その特性を所要部位において必要な度合で得ることができる穂先を有する釣竿釣竿を提供する。【解決手段】本発明に係る釣竿1は、繊維強化樹脂製の穂先12を有している。穂先12は、基端から先端に至るまで強化繊維が連続して配向されて成る合成性樹脂が含浸された連続繊維強化樹脂部62と、この連続繊維強化樹脂部62の先端に接合され、短繊維を3~50wt%の含有量でマトリクス樹脂材に分散して形成される不連続繊維強化樹脂部60とを有する。【選択図】 図2
