Patent attributes
Disclosed is an improved fishing rod adapted to increase the durability of the fishing rod and fishing line and to improve casting distance and accuracy. The fishing rod comprises an elongated cylindrical rod blank having a working end and a terminal end, wherein the working end is attached to a handle. The rod blank further comprises a plurality of fishing line guides disposed in a gradual spiral configuration along the length of the rod blank. The fishing line guides are adapted to receive a fishing line therethrough. The guides are also low profile so as to minimize snagging. When in use, the fishing line wraps around the rod blank, thereby evenly distributing the weight of the fishing line around the rod. In this way, the present invention eliminates line memory and increases the tensile strength of the rod blank and the fishing line.
