FISHING ROD FERRULE

摘要

A novel flexible ferrule is provided. The ferrule is a hollow tapered tube having walls formed from a plurality of layers of continuous graphite fiber-reinforced plastic sheet material in which the graphite fibers of one layer of sheet material are at an obtuse angle ranging from about 110 DEG to about 140 DEG relative to the fibers in the next superimposed graphite layer of sheet material. Interposed between and alternating with the graphite layers are layers of woven fiberglass material, the glass fibers of which are at right angles to each other.
