ABSTRACT:
A fishing rod capable of increased casting distances is made of two (2) concentric-frictionally engaged blanks and includes a stiff, but not rigid butt zone incorporating most of the first blank, a fast tapered mid-zone overlapping both blanks and a flexible tip zone at the distal end of the second blank. The blanks have inner diameter of different taper rates per unit of length in the various zones to achieve the desired characteristics. The inner diameter taper rate of the mid-zone is, importantly, an order of magnitude greater than the taper rate of the butt zone. Mandrels employed to fabricate the respective blanks are tapered accordingly.
