PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ear tip used for a fishing rod and capable of inhibiting the curvature of the tip portion on the thermal curing of a thermosetting resin impregnated in reinforcing carbon fibers, thereby improving the production yield, avoiding a problem related to productivity, and improving the buckling strength and twisting stiffness of the ear tip. SOLUTION: This ear tip for a fishing rod is produced by laminating the first prepreg 1 to the second prepreg 2, winding the obtained laminateα1 on a core X over the whole length of the ear tip and subsequently pressing and heating the wound laminate by a conventional method. The first prepreg 1 is obtained by impregnating reinforcing carbon fibers Fa paralleled in the axial direction of the fishing rod with a thermosetting resin. The second prepreg 2 is obtained by impregnating reinforcing carbon fibers F'b paralleled at a prescribed angle to the axial direction of the fishing rod with the thermosetting resin. The second prepreg 2 is arranged so that the prescribed angle of the reinforcing carbon fibers Fb at the winding-starting end of the second 10 degree to the axial direction of the fishing rod. The starting end 1a of the first prepreg 1 is shifted from the starting end 2a of the second prepreg 2 only by a half circumference of the core X.
