Abstract

A method of assembling a fishing rod including a rod member, a conic enlargement on the rod member, and a foregrip having a generally conic inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface with a part thereof being eccentric with respect to the conic inner circumferential surface. In practicing this method, the conic inner circumferential surface of the foregrip is wedged into engagement with the conic enlargement on the rod member, and the eccentric part of the outer circumferential surface of the foregrip is arranged in a preselected angular position therefor extending generally circumferentially outwardly from the rod member. Other methods of assembling a fishing rod and other fishing rods are also disclosed.
