To obtain a material for fishing and sporting goods having light weight, excellent in appearance, decorativeness and strength, and useful for golf goods or the like by polishing a specific outer face allowing an elastic abrasive material to come in touch on the surface to form it into a mirror surface having a one plain-state, that is, all parts containing different constituting materials are made into a single plain.
An outer surface of a material body comprising a base material 6 and a reinforcing material 5 where the base material 6 and the reinforcing material 5 exist in a mixed state, or an outer face of a material body comprising hard parts and soft parts where the hard parts and the soft parts exist in a mixed state is polished by chemical polishing process allowing an elastic abrasive material to come in touch on the outer surface to form it into a mirror surface having a one plain-state. Thus, a material for fishing and sporting goods having the volume ratio Vf of the reinforcing material 5 to the base material 6 is ≥55% when it is calculated in terms of the area ratio in a unit area inside that material body is obtained. Further, it is preferable that an optical interface thin film, a bright coating or a transparent or translucent thin film is further formed on the outer surface of the material body which has been polished into a mirror surface.
