- 1. An intra-line fishing rod including a rod top portion, said rod top portion extending in an axial direction and being structured such that synthetic resin is used as a matrix, reinforcing fibers are disposed such that they extend in an inclined direction with an angle of inclination of at least 5 degrees with respect to the axial direction of said rod top portion and also such that they cross each other from both right and left directions substantially symmetrical with respect to said axial direction, and a smaller amount of reinforcing fibers than the amount of said crossing reinforcing fibers are disposed so as to extend substantially in said axial direction,wherein the reinforcing fibers having a lower elastic modulus than said crossing reinforcing fibers are disposed so as to extend substantially in said axial direction.

Parent Case Info
This is a division of Application Ser. No. 08/524,283, filed Sep. 6, 1995, now U.S. Pat. No. 5,926,992.
The present invention relates to an intra-line fishing rod which is characterized by a rod top portion.
Every fishing rod has its own flexible characteristic which can be set according to its fishing targets, for example, a fishing rod for small-size fish is formed such that it has a delicate flexible characteristic.
However, in an intra-line fishing rod, since a fishline is inserted through the interior of the rod tube and also since the resistance of the fishline must be reduced, in the rod top portion of the fishing rod, the inside diameter of the rod tube cannot be reduced so much. If the inside diameter of the rod top portion is large, a delicate flexibility cannot be provided and, for this reason, conventionally, it is difficult to manufacture an intra-line fishing rod having a delicate flexible characteristic.
