A lot of the problem with a stuck ferrules is trying to grip the rod to get a straight pull to get it apart. One of my mates gave me a couple of pieces of rubber? anti slip pad/mat. It is amazing how easy it is to pull a stuck ferrule by using this material. I actually used the material today on one of my fly rods. I don't know where you buy this material, but keep your eye out. I'm sure it will cost bugger all. Hope this helps.
 
Cheers

But I reckon you could be on to something. Excrete your fluid into an old Marmite jar and market it as 'Terra's Grease' - ideal for drag stacks etc.


Ooops my bad.
Good tip tho and will keep it in mind if stuck(not the marmite jar!)]]> Sun, 01 Dec 2019 21:26:26 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132404&PID=1767904&title=rod-ferrules-stuck-together-try-this#1767904 <![CDATA[Rod ferrules stuck together - try this! : bazza wrote: kaveman wrote:...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=132404&PID=1767895&title=rod-ferrules-stuck-together-try-this#1767895 Author: kaveman

The very first thing I was shown when being given fly fishing instruction was as follows  :-
 
Every time before assembling rod sections simply place the male part in the lower part of the outside of your nose in the groove where it joins your face then rotate the rod section 360 degrees. This readily available source of a thin layer of natural lubricant can be seen as a thin smear & by following this simple procedure you can be assured of NEVER having to face the problem of suck rod sections EVER again.
 
Only takes a few seconds to do therefore I am continuously surprised that hardly anyone is aware of it ... but then again had I not been shown, I too would no doubt have continued to face the ongoing dilemma of stuck sections!  


yep, this is the best method Bazza or rub in hair( natural oils) never stick together but always take apart each tripWink
 
At the risk of being considered facetious would like to point out that not all fishos have hair on their head but have yet to meet one without a nose !


haha, good one Bazza. Good to see you still have a noseWink

I think the excessive sticking was due to being mounted vertical (rod holders) for many bumpy trips over several season .. then storing , never actually having to pull apart.

Then comes that trip you have to throw across the back seat...

 Later get something out of the back seat, rod moves, slam the door ...Confused snap the tip..

I had a rod some yrs ago an old cheapie that was very stuck.
1st used duct tap full width and single turns but slipped.
 Then tor long strips 1/2 roll wide and wound around the bits ply off cut rod shaft.
Did much the same except instead of clamped, I tapped harder and harder with a carpenters hammer, on the ends of the bits of wood.. doing one side then the other till it just started to separate...

The crd dripping didnt work even when left over night.
 It did work on my extendable 'turn and lock' boat hook... after a bit of 'work'
 Didnt try any of the other suggested methods.
