The line guide group is classified into a choke guide group 3 configured with three choke guides 5A, 5B, 5 and 5C and a tip guide group 9 configured with a plurality of tip guides 11 having a decreased height and diameter than the choke guides. Heights (H) and diameters (D) of the choke guides are set to draw one virtual cone shape in which the diameters are made to be circumferences. The heights (H) and diameters (D) of the tip guides 11 are set to be all the same. Since the line is converged rapidly 10 and smoothly, the tip guide group 9 can have a combination of light guides having small diameter, thereby the entire weight can be saved greatly, and original ability of a rod can be brought out.
