PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tip rod having both a high flexural strength and high flexibility.SOLUTION: A method for forming the tip rod 1 comprises winding an outer prepreg rod material 1C on the outer periphery of an inside solid bar-like rod material 1B formed by impregnating a reinforcing fiber bundle with a resin to form a tip section rod material, polishing the outer peripheral side of the wound tip section material in a tapered shape, and then curing the polished product. The outer prepreg rod material 1C is formed by paralleling reinforcing fibers having a smaller elastic modulus than that of the reinforcing fibers of the inside solid bar-like rod material 1B and then impregnating the paralleled reinforcing fibers with a resin.COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI【課題】 高い曲げ強度と柔軟性とを兼ね備えた穂先竿を提供する点にある。【解決手段】 強化繊維の束に樹脂を含浸させて形成した中実棒状の内側竿素材1Bの外周に、内側竿素材1Bの強化繊維よりも弾性率の小さな強化繊維を引き揃えその引き揃え強化繊維に樹脂を含浸させて形成したプリプレグ製の外側竿素材1Cを巻回して穂先竿素材を形成し、その巻回後穂先竿素材の外周面をテーパ状に研磨加工し、研磨加工後焼成して穂先竿1を形成する。【選択図】 図3
