PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fishing rod which can correct defects of conventional rods such as decrease in fish strike sensitivity, tiredness from load, short flying distance of the line at a higher level and can bring out more intrinsic performance of the rod.SOLUTION: The line guide group is classified into a choke guide group 3 comprising three choke guides 5A, 5B and 5C or two choke guides 7A and 7B and a tip guide group 9 comprising several tip guides 11 having decreased height and diameter than those of the choke guides. Height (H) and an aperture (D) of each of the choke guides are set to draw one virtual cone shape in which the diameter forms a circle's perimeter. The heights (H) and apertures (D) of the tip guides 11 are set to be all the same. Since the line is converged rapidly and smoothly, the tip guide group 9 can have a combination of light guides having small diameters, thereby the entire weight can be greatly saved, and the intrinsic performance of the rod can be more brought out.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】魚信感度が低下したり、持ち重りがしたり、糸の飛距離が伸びないと言った欠点をより高い次元で解消し、ロッド本来の性能をより引き出すことができる釣竿の提供。【解決手段】ラインガイド群を、３個のチョークガイド５Ａ、５Ｂ、５Ｃまたは２個のチョークガイド７Ａ、７Ｂからなるチョークガイド群３と、チョークガイドより高さと口径の減少した複数のティップガイド１１からなるティップガイド群９とに区分し、チョークガイドの高さ（Ｈ）と口径（Ｄ）は、口径が円周を為す１つの仮想円錐形を描くように設定し、ティップガイド１１の高さ（Ｈ）と口径（Ｄ）は全てが同じに設定する。糸が迅速かつスムーズに収束されるので、ティップガイド群９は小径で軽いガイドを組み合わせるができ、結果として全体を格段に軽量化でき、ロッド本来の性能をより引き出せる。【選択図】 図１
