Most tubes like that are made by a roll wrapping technique around a metal mandrel using pre-preg carbon fibres, often Uni-directional pre-pregs at different orientations.

You can do it wet lay then consolidate with a Composites High Shrink Tape before letting it cure.

However for small diameter fishing poles, this will be painfully fiddly!
