Stuck Ferrules
submitted by Kirk Mathew


Rod sections stuck together? Use one of these two methods to get them unstuck. If you are alone, place the rod behind your knees and grasp the rod sections on either side; slowly separate your knees to add additional force as you pull the sections apart. With a partner, stand facing one another, grab the opposite sections of the rod and pull apart. If neither of those techniques work, sometimes soaking the stuck ferrule in ice water or a cold stream for several minutes will do the trick.
