Abstract: A fishing rod comprises a hollow tubular body having first and second open end portions. The fishing rod further comprises a first member provided at the first open end portion of the tubular body and a second member provided at the second open end portion of the tubular body. A rod blank extends through the first member and the tubular body and terminates at a terminal portion which is disposed in the second member. The rod blank is fixed to the first member and elastically suspended by the second member. An air gap is formed around the rod blank in the tubular body so that a vibration is generated on the rod blank by a strike and transmitted along the rod blank to pass through the first member and reach the terminal portion of the rod blank. The vibration is then reflected from the terminal portion of the rod blank and transmitted along the rod blank reversely toward the first member to be amplified by a resonance. The first member receives the vibration amplified by the resonance.
