PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem associated with a fishing rod having a difference in rigidity that changes how the rod gives a feel, the problem where the fishing rod causes fish to move violently by giving the fish a discomfort due to a change in the reaction of the rod when a user tries to land the fish by lifting the rod vertically, causing an apex of the flexure of the rod to move from rod end- toward rod base-portions, the flexure due to the pull of the fish.SOLUTION: A fishing rod is provided with plural regulation members in a rod portion with an interval between individual members, the member to change a moving speed of an apex of flexure occurring in the rod portion when the rod portion is flexed by hooked fish pulling in from a rod tip.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】釣竿の調子を変更する剛性差を有する釣竿は、釣竿を立てて取り込む際に、魚の引きによる竿の撓みの頂部が穂先側から元竿側へ移動する際に、竿の抗力の変化により魚に違和感を与えて、魚を暴れさせる事態が生じる。【解決手段】釣竿は、竿杆に掛かった魚による竿先からの引き込みにより前記竿杆が撓む時に、前記竿杆に生じる曲がりの頂部の移動速度を変化させる複数の規制部材が間隔を空けて前記竿杆に配置される。【選択図】図2
