BAMBOO RODS, STUCK FERRULES


https://www.ginkandgasoline.com/fly-fishing-tips-technique/dealing-with-stuck-ferrules-the-smart-way/

This showed up on my email:

................I've seen it all. Many customer bringing rods to me

that were suddenly "one piece" rods that they could not get apart.

The 4 hand/2 people method is sometimes a last resort, but it works!! Most of the time,

I've also done it behind the knees.


Once, I even ended up with the sharp end of a snake guide stuck in the webbing

of a hand.........OUCH!!



**** Then there were experiments using ice, light heat, pieces of old inner tube ...............you would not believe.


During the life of the Little Lehigh Fly Shop I was often expected to fix this. My shop was in a Springhouse. I found if I held the ferrule under the cold outlet of the spring, the behind the knees method never failed.
