I have several rods I keep the ferrules waxed just to tighten things up a bit.
I am a fan of putting a tiny bit of epoxy on the male, but again, you need to be careful, mix some up, dab your... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (majicwrench) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/68185 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 11:42:10 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/68173/t/Fixing-a-ferrule-on-a-Hardy-JET-.html#reply-68173 Glad we could be of assistance. Being retired I get up before dawn so I can go fishing at dawn on decent days. Some of us like to leave a little extra blank before we start our ferrule wraps, if your lucky there might be an 1/8th inch on your tip, thats what I leave when I do my final finsh, so you can just take your sanding block with fine paper, sand it back square and stop just before the existing wraps and add a few more years of fishing before you need to... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (flyfishing4goldentrout) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/68173 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 06:55:57 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/68172/t/Fixing-a-ferrule-on-a-Hardy-JET-.html#reply-68172
It is snug, but just barely. As a spey rod guy, I am used to taping ferrules for 'just in case' moments, and maybe the first time I take it out I will do that as an insurance measure, just to see if it loosens. This repair sounds pretty easy, but I am not sure I am comfortable with redoing wraps if needed, I may have to find a builder to take care of it for me if it is a problem. I will try cleaning both sides a Tom mentioned, and adding... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Akroyd) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/68172 Fri, 24 Apr 2009 06:35:54 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/68159/t/Fixing-a-ferrule-on-a-Hardy-JET-.html#reply-68159
Welcome to the Fiberglass Flyrodders! It's nice to have visitors from Clark's!

As I understand it, your ferrule is snug with the two rod sections barely touching. It would be ideal if the two rod sections had about 1/8"-1/4" gap between them, but it isn't mandatory. The good news is the ferrule is snug. As long as that is the case, you are in good shape and you can happily fish the rod. I would recommend thoroughly cleaning the ferrule and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jgestar) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/68159 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 21:30:39 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/68123/t/Fixing-a-ferrule-on-a-Hardy-JET-.html#reply-68123 Sounds like very common normal assembly wear, often encountered on rods with glass spigot ferrules that have been taken apart alot. There is one very simple repair. You squarely sand down the female till you recover your maximium 3/16 inch snugged up gap, the remove the remainder of the female ferrule overwrap and matching the thread and pattern rewrap it and refinish the wraps to match. Sometimes some tricks of the trade are needed to give the appearance of... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (flyfishing4goldentrout) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/68123 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 15:17:23 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/topic/8907/t/Fixing-a-ferrule-on-a-Hardy-JET-.html
I am relatively new to this fiberglass thing, and just recently got a Hardy Jet 7 weight, 8'6" 2 piece. The rod is in very good condition, but when I put the two pieces together, it's snug, but barely. I think the ferrule is a little worn. I searched through the forum here for suggestions on repair, but was unable to find anything. When the rod is assembled, the tip and butt sections actually touch, and from what I have read there should be a small gap when... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Akroyd) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/topic/8907 Thu, 23 Apr 2009 11:50:30 GMT
