PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a grip structure of a fishing rod, improved in rigidity of the grip as a whole while making the best use of the good touch feeling of cork gripping, and capable of improving the sensing ability on the behavior of the fishing rods tip such as a bite signal.SOLUTION: The grip structure is constructed by the following process: A cork core material 3 is fixed on the outer circumferential surface of a fishing rod material 1A, and a prepreg tape 4 formed by impregnating a thermosetting resin into uniaxially arranged carbon fibers is wound at intervals around the outer circumferential surface of the core material 3. The resultant core material 3 wound with the prepreg tape 4 is then baked together with the fishing rod material 1A to weld and fix the prepreg tape 4 on the core material 3.COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT【課題】 コルクの握り感触の良さを生かしながら、グリップ全体として剛性を高め、魚信等の竿先の挙動に対する感知特性を向上させることのできる釣り竿のグリップ構造を提供する。【解決手段】 竿素材1Aの外周面にコルク製のコア材3を取付固定するとともに、一方向に引き揃えた炭素繊維に熱硬化性樹脂を含浸させて形成したプリプレグテープ4を、コア材3の外周面に間隔を開けて巻回する。プリプレグテープ4を巻回したコア材3を竿素材1Aとともに焼成し、プリプレグテープ4をコア材3に溶着固定する。【選択図】 図1
