Description
This modern fishing rod is made primarily from lightweight carbon fiber, designed to provide high tensile strength while maintaining flexibility. The rod features a cork handle for comfort and a stainless steel reel seat that secures the reel in place. Fishing rods like this one represent both recreational pastimes and cultural traditions tied to patience, skill, and connection with nature. Their evolution from simple bamboo poles to advanced composite materials reflects technological innovation and the enduring popularity of fishing as a sport and form of relaxation.
ID: A long, slender rod made of matte black carbon fiber, tapering from a thicker base to a thin tip. The handle is covered in EVA foam, black in color, and ends with a metallic reel seat that holds a silver fishing reel. Several small circular metal guides line the upper half of the rod, evenly spaced to guide the fishing line. The object is photographed lying vertically.
Physical Dimensions: 6'6" (1.98 Meters)
