ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a tip section of a fishing rod with, an integral ferrule located at the butt end of the tip section, employs a mandrel having an annular shoulder separating two discrete mandrel sections. Heat-curable sheet material is wrapped about the first section adjacent the shoulder until the outer diameter of the wrapped material corresponds to the diameter of the second section of the mandrel. The result is a smooth transition from the second section to the wrapped material. Additional heat-curable material is then wrapped about the second section and the previously wrapped material overlapping the shoulder section. The wrapped material is compacted against the mandrel and heated until cured. Upon removal of the compacting forces of the mandrel, the cured material is in the form of a hollow rod having a ferrule for receiving another rod within the region of the second wrapped material.
