Abstract

A casting rod of the pistol grip type has a hollow one-piece molded rod and handle body that is continuous from end to end and preferably with the handle portion uncovered so there is no interruption of transmitted vibrations through said body from the tip of the rod to the hand of the user gripping the handle portion. In making the casting rod the mat material and thermosetting resin are placed on a mandrel in the same molding operation to form the one-piece rod and handle body.
