[0004]

One of the problems of conventional fishing rods is that the tip end of a small diameter tip rod is damaged. This problem is partly due to the fact that when the fishing line is wound on the reel, the tackle connected to the tip side of the fishing line is rolled up together with the fishing line, and the tackle (eg float, weight, lure) collides with the top guide. Has occurred.

The tip rod is also an antenna for informing the angler that a fish has been caught in the tackle, and it is required to have a small diameter so as to react as sharply as possible. For this reason, if the tackle violently collides with the top guide attached to the tip of such a small diameter tip rod, there is a risk of damage. An object of the present invention is to provide a fishing rod that can prevent damage to the tip rod without impairing the sharpness of the tip rod.

[0006]
