I'd be more pissed at losing the fish then breaking a rod, closely followed by the camera mans annoying voice.

Looked to me as though the angler was in a bad position, jammed in the anchor well with the bow rail preventing him dropping the rod tip lower to counter the fish plunging under the boat. Probably should have been up on the bow with someone spotting him.

Maybe a Calstar grafighter 700XH would have saved the situation?

Oh ok. Mine is not tight at all, just comes to a stop and is easily tightened and comes apart just as easily. So, not so concerned I guess. Was thinking temp may have been an issue as another two piece I have which is usually sweet to join up tight and snug and come apart has been a biaatch as of late. Will see what my engineer supply wizards can prescribe me tomorrow before I go down the track of 'fishing' branded lube.

Yeh I've had some difficulty pulling the 2 parts together and sometime even more difficulty getting them out. Apparently you shouldn't twist the rod to manoeuvre it in.

I sanded the blank bank (lightly!) with 2000 grit and use dry glide, which is silicon based I think. Comes out of a spray can.

The Ferrule wax is a must have in the tropics as you have the opposite to Falco's problem, some of the rods are even 'sanded' so only 10mm of the male sleeve sticks out of the handle as often recommended, the wax certainly helps when pulling the rods apart as well, allthough I noticed no problem in the 'cool' Mt Maunganui weather last week Big smile. Cleaning the boat on Monday morning in 3deg was funShocked.

Yes,
I used to use candle wax,it also keeps the salt water out of the join,(potential wear from crystals?)
and then I just had to by some chapstick type "SMITH Ferrulle wax" LOL
It is a little softer than ordinary candle wax,but probably just a softer blend of the same stuff.

I have spoken to a couple of rod builders (Sean at Just Fishing, Graeme Patterson at Synit) and they have indicated that when the male ferrule doesnt go all the way in it is to allow for wear, so its not something to be alarmed about..... it does look a little bit weird though when their is binding on either end and it doesnt seem meet but there is a space between them, unlike rod joins that are 50/50 in the middle.]]> Thu, 04 Aug 2011 14:34:15 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68554&PID=979188&title=shimano-caranx-kaibutsu-busted#979188 <![CDATA[Shimano Caranx Kaibutsu Busted : So you can actually buy specific...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68554&PID=979157&title=shimano-caranx-kaibutsu-busted#979157 Author: fish i

I got a 2pc Popper stick about a year ago that is not coming thru the joint fully. It was a prototype from a well known brand. Put wax on it and it went thru fully. Until one day I noticed even going down full, the but section somehow lost its tightness and I can easily pull the top part. 

Didnt mind it until one day I casted out and the top part flew away with the lure. Shocked
