PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rod body for a fishing rod having enhanced torsional rigidity etc. obtained by devising the direction of arrangement of a prepreg tape.SOLUTION: A main pattern Aa consisting of a prepreg sheet 7 having a length L1 corresponding to the length of a rod body B and provided with reinforcing fibers c uniformly aligned in the same direction is wound in such a manner that reinforcing fibers c are tilted relative to the rod axis X. A small-width prepreg tape 8 consisting of reinforcing fibers c uniformly aligned in the longitudinal direction is helically wound in the rod axis direction in such a manner that the prepreg tape is overlapped with each other. The reinforcing fibers c of the prepreg sheet 7 and the reinforcing fibers c of the prepreg tape 8 are wound so as to cross each other when viewed in the radial direction and are wound in the directions opposite to each other.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】プリプレグの配設方向に工夫を加えることによって、捩り剛性等を高めた釣り竿用竿体を提供する点にある。【解決手段】釣り竿用竿体Bの長さに相当する長さL1を備え強化繊維cを引き揃え配置したプリプレグシート7からなるメインパターンAaを、強化繊維cが竿軸線Xに対して傾斜する状態となるように巻回する。長手方向に沿って強化繊維cを引き揃えた細幅のプリプレグテープ8を竿軸線方向に沿って密着する状態で螺旋状に巻回する。プリプレグシート7の強化繊維cとプリプレグテープ8の強化繊維cとが、径方向視において交差するように互いに逆向きに巻回してある。【選択図】図2
