Abstract:Deflection of a commercial hollow type fishing rod is investigated in this research. The fishing rod of interest is of Abu Garcia brand, made of carbon fibre. Analytical, experimental and numerical approach were performed to assess the bending of the rod under maximum 1.25 kg load located at the tip which represents the rod in pulling. The deflection is defined by longitudinal displacement of each point of guide rings located along the fishing rod. A mathematical model based on basic bending theory of cantilev… Show more
