No, it is a third-class lever. a third class lever has the effort in the middle, like a fishing rod.

A thrid-class lever
A fishing rod is a lever of the third class because the effort (force applied by the fisherman) is between the fulcrum (where the rod is held) and the load (fish caught at the other end of the line).
Yes, a fishing rod is an example of a first-class lever where the fulcrum is located between the effort (the force applied by the angler) and the load (the fish).
A second class lever is often used to increase force or speed, such as in a wheelbarrow, where the load is in between the fulcrum and the effort. A third class lever is commonly used to increase distance and speed, like in a fishing rod, where the effort is in between the fulcrum and the load.
A third class lever is a lever where the force is applied between the fulcrum and the load. A fishing rod is a third class lever if it is fixed at the base and the hand holding the rod is between that fulcrum and the other end of the rod. It is also a third class lever by extension of your arm, wherein the fulcrum is your elbow and the force is your biceps or triceps muscle, which attaches close to that fulcrum.In a limiting case, a fishing rod is a first class lever if it is supported between the ends and you hold it at a point beyond that fixed fulcrum. This is not common, I think.
A third-class lever is a simple machine where the effort force is situated between the load and the fulcrum. Examples of third-class levers include a fishing rod and a broom.
A venetian on a rod is considered a lever, specifically a class 1 lever. The rod acts as the fulcrum, the venetian blind as the load, and the force needed to raise or lower the blinds corresponds to the effort.
