A fishing rod with a portion on which the leg portion of a fishing reel is mounted is made of a three-layered structure that is integrally formed by thermosetting and is made of prepreg sheets or woven fabrics made by impregnating high tension or strength fiber with thermosetting resin, glass fiber reinforced sheets made by impregnating thermosetting resin into glass fiber, and carbon fiber reinforced sheets with fiber that extend in a single direction.
A thicker section on which the reel is placed is made up of the three layers. The thickened section has screw threads created throughout its whole axial length, and two nut members are screw-engaged with the screw threads in an axially opposed fashion.
Graphene-resin mixtures made up of resin and a graphene preparation equally distributed throughout the resin are included in each prepreg layer of a fishing rod’s hollow tubular rod blank. The graphene-resin mixture has also been impregnated into a fiber fabric that is part of the rod blank. To create the rod blank, the various prepreg layers are placed and pushed together in alternating layers of graphene-resin mixture and fiber fabric.
The Global fishing rod thermoset prepregs market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A rod body for a fishing rod is produced by Shimano, a business that uses creativity in the placement of prepreg tape to increase torsional rigidity and other properties.
A prepreg sheet 52 with a length that corresponds to the length of a rod body and reinforcement fiber 42 that are uniformly aligned is wound to create the main pattern, which results in an inner layer 23 with reinforcement fiber 42 slanted with respect to the rod axis. A prepreg tape having a narrow width 70 and reinforcing fiber 42 that are uniformly aligned in the longitudinal direction is helically wound in the direction of the rod axis to create an outer layer 25.
