In an intra-line fishing rod, a rod tube comprises a synthetic resin as a matrix, and is reinforced by reinforced fibers. A guide is formed integrally with and projects from an inner surface of the rod tube. A cushioning portion (32) is formed between the guide (30) and a body layer of the rod tube which is composed predominantly of axially-extending fibers, and cushioning portions (32) are formed respectively at front and rear sides of the guide (30) connected to the inner surface of the rod tube. The cushioning portions (32) are smaller in bending modulus than a bulge portion region of the guide for contact with a fishline, and the inner surface is formed with a mirror-like smoothness. <IMAGE>
