Provided is a fishing rod including a rod section and a fitting having a securing portion, the fitting being firmly secured at the securing portion to the rod section without inhibiting bending of the rod section, the securing portion having an excellent outer appearance. In the fishing rod of the present invention, on a securing portion 10a of a fishing line guide 10B placed on a surface of a molded rod section, a prepreg sheet 30 formed of plain-woven reinforcement fibers impregnated with a thermosetting resin is wound to secure the fishing line guide 10B. The prepreg sheet 30 is disposed so that a group F1 of reinforcement fibers and a group F2 of reinforcement fibers are in oblique directions with respect to an axial direction X, and wound and secured so that intersecting angles of the reinforcement fibers with respect to the axial direction in a winding region on a part of the rod section located beyond a distal end 10e of the securing portion 10a are smaller than intersecting angles of the reinforcement fibers with respect to the axial direction in a winding region on the securing portion 10a.
