A handle for a fishing rod is disclosed which provides increased sensitivity to vibration. In particular, the handle is formed from a plurality of cork rings and a plurality of sensor disks having a relatively higher flexural stiffness than cork, such as graphite rings. The principles of the present invention may be used with virtually any type of fishing rod handle, such as a handle with a reel seat for a bait caster reel; a handle with a reel seat for use with a spinning reel and a handle without a reel seat, also known as a Tennessee style handle and assembled to a rod blank to form a fishing rod. Since the handle is formed from both cork rings and sensor disks having a relatively higher flexural stiffness than cork, the handle in accordance with the present invention provides increased sensitivity to vibration relative to a cork handle while at the same time provides the same feel as a handle formed from cork that is not as brittle or susceptible to breakage as an all graphite handle.
