Abstract
Abstract A method for producing a fishing rod made of a glass fiber-reinforced synthetic resin which comprises impregnating a glass cloth with a thermosetting synthetic resin to form a prepreg, wrapping the prepreg about a tapered mandrel, curing it under heat, and then pulling out the mandrel, wherein the glass cloth has letters, geometrical figures or other decorative designs applied to the whole or a part of its surface by printing or coating, and the thermosetting synthetic resin is the one which can give a transparent cured product.
