PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a top rod for fishing which has good bending properties and hardly causes breakage even when being bent largely.SOLUTION: The fishing rod has the solid top rod 20 for fishing which is formed by arranging a plurality of reinforcing fiber bundles obtained by impregnating many reinforcing fibers directed in the shaft length direction with a synthetic resin. The top rod 20 for the fishing is regulated so that the amount of resin impregnated at the center part may be larger than that at the surface layer part in the cross section obtained by cutting the top rod in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal axis direction at any position, and the amount of resin impregnated may continuously be changed in the radial direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT【課題】屈撓性が良好で、大撓みしても破損し難い釣り用穂先竿を提供する。【解決手段】本発明は、軸長方向に指向した多数の強化繊維に合成樹脂を含浸した強化繊維束を、複数束配置することで形成される中実状の釣り用穂先竿20を有している。釣り用穂先竿20は、いずれかの位置で長手軸方向に対して直交する方向に切断した横断面を見た際、中心部における樹脂含浸量が表層部における樹脂含浸量よりも多く、かつ径方向に沿って、連続的に樹脂含浸量が変化している。【選択図】図1
