▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - The sporting equipment has a component (38) containing several prepreg layers with a graphene-resin mixture (37) comprising a resin and a graphene preparation evenly formed throughout the resin. A fiber cloth (41) is impregnated with the graphene-resin mixture which contains about ten percent graphene by weight. The resin comprises at least one of a polyester resin, a vinylester resin and an epoxy resin. The several prepreg layers are applied and pressed together in alternate layers of graphene-resin mixture and fiber cloth and shaped to form the component. USE - Sporting equipment incorporated with graphene such as fishing rods, golf clubs, arrows, bows, snow skis, bicycle frames, surf boards, skateboards, snowboards, horse sulky, car body skin, car body panel, helmet, body armor, computing device outer housing, boat hull and body components, airplane fuselage and wing components, helicopter blade and body components (all claimed). ADVANTAGE - The performance of a fishing rod is improved by placing the line guides and reel seat with consideration to the location of the spine. The tape provides waterproof properties and can be made of cellophane or other suitable materials. The placement of the line guides along the spine or opposite the spine, ensures that when the rod is under load, it does not twist when it bends. The light-weight, durable, sensitive, and powerful fishing rod is provided. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method of forming a component of a sporting equipment. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a cross-sectional view of a fishing rod blank with graphene. Graphene-resin mixture (37) Component (38) Fiber cloth (41) Long continuous tape (42)
