what I do is take a stanly knife and shave off about .01 or .02 from two places on the male end and use an automotive lube stick from repco or super cheap, never had a proble. did this about 2 years ago and only just thinking about applying the lube again. its great stuff.]]> Sat, 19 Mar 2011 07:56:11 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64114&PID=916925&title=separating-stuck-rod-sections#916925 <![CDATA[Separating stuck rod sections : BeachedAsBro wrote:I can&#039;t...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64114&PID=916277&title=separating-stuck-rod-sections#916277 Author: Ahab

Yeah, B a B, things straightened up for me once I wasn't posting pissed any more!
 
Just found a handy tip from Sam Mossman in NZFN from May '09. He discovered that a horse grooming glove called a "rubber grooming mitt" helps get a decent grip on the firmly jammed rod.

Hate it when  that happens generally in my experience it happens with newer rods I have had that with the Penn Surfcasters as I use them almost exclusively for the first 5-6 trips they jam then come right]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 23:00:57 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64114&PID=915945&title=separating-stuck-rod-sections#915945 <![CDATA[Separating stuck rod sections : Makes a lot of sense.

If you put enough liquid and other slippery gunk in the join it will form a vacuum and you'll never get things apart. Dry joints are better. ]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:58:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64114&PID=915911&title=separating-stuck-rod-sections#915911 <![CDATA[Separating stuck rod sections : Pencil graphite worked a treat....]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64114&PID=915902&title=separating-stuck-rod-sections#915902 Author: Ahab

Pencil graphite worked a treat. Thanks all those who suggested it.
Good to hear that Aaron. Am aiming to keep it solely for the beach, but good to know they back it up if something gives out...]]> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:41:30 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64114&PID=915902&title=separating-stuck-rod-sections#915902 <![CDATA[Separating stuck rod sections : Kilwell were awesome with a recent...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64114&PID=915570&title=separating-stuck-rod-sections#915570 Author: Aaron32987

Kilwell were awesome with a recent rod repair - I was fully prepared to pay the full cost of guides bashed on the rocks, but without even being asked they gave me the guides for free and all I had to pay for was the labour.
 
Big Thumbs Up, I know who I'll be buying my next rod from.

I massaged candle wax deep into the male end to lube it up. 
Then I eased it deep in to the hilt and it really got stuck.
stuck together like rooting dogs.
Then I took the butt plug off,  
I'm wondering how to make them slide easily in and out.
I should probably reduce the girth of the male end, 
 Then I guess keep the join nicely slick with oil or a similarly slippery substance.
 
Any thoughts?

He he, a few unintentional double entendres might have found their way in to that one. I blame whoever started calling them "male" and "female" sections. Plus the 7 beers I'd had before writing the post! Seemed hilarious at the time... 
 
I've had similar problems with metal fly rod joins jamming, but they seem to respond better to oil and wax than graphite rods.

That's my last resort Baz! It's a beautiful rod though, keen to try slidebaiting for kings this weekend.
 
Might get in touch with Kilwell today.
