A fishing rod blank is the main structural component of a fishing rod, typically made of composite materials such as graphite, fiberglass, or a combination of both. It is essentially the "core" or "skeleton" of the fishing rod before guides, reel seats, handles, and other components are added. The fishing rod blank determines many of the rod's characteristics, including its length, weight, power, action, and sensitivity. Different materials and construction techniques used in the manufacturing of blanks result in rods with varying performance characteristics suited to different fishing techniques and conditions.
