PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tip rod for fishing which is hard to break even if a local bending caused by a large deflection arises, and to provide a fishing rod having the tip rod for fishing.SOLUTION: The tip rod for fishing has fibers 60-66 composing a fiber bundle extending over the total length of tip rod. The tip rod has a longitudinal section along the direction of longitudinal axis at any position along the direction of longitudinal axis of the tip rod, wherein the fibers 60-66 exposed on the longitudinal section has an exposed length l along the longitudinal axial direction which is shorter than the unit length L of 1 mm along the longitudinal axial direction of the longitudinal section, and different exposed lengths l1, l2, l3, l4, ..., are intermingled.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】大撓みして局部的な曲がりが生じても破損し難い釣り用穂先竿およびそのような釣り用穂先竿を有する釣竿を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の釣り用穂先竿によれば、繊維束を構成する繊維60~66が穂先竿の全長にわたって延在し、穂先竿の長手軸方向に沿ういずれかの位置でその長手軸方向に沿って切断した縦断面において、該縦断面に露出する繊維60~66は、その長手軸方向に沿う露出長さlが切断した縦断面の長手軸方向の1mmの単位長さLよりも短く且つ露出長さの異なるものl1,l2,l3,l4・・・が混在していることを特徴とする。【選択図】図5
