I have had this happen to me twice before I read about waxing ferrules.
Reasons to wax the ferrules:
- Tip may fly off and get lost in the water depending on fly size on end of tippet!
- Rod pieces may get stuck together (requiring gorilla strength pulling to get apart)
- Loose ferrules can cause the tip over butt sleeve to break and crack. Because if the ferrule loosens and slides up the rod there is now a gap which when casting clicks and can snap or crack the ferrule!
Note: If you have a bamboo rod and are currently wiping nose oil on the ferrules...don't do it anymore. I read that it causes corrosion!
So there you have it, Please save yourself some grief and wax your ferrules!

Your blog keeps getting better and better! Your older articles are not as good as newer ones you have a lot more creativity and originality now keep it up!
Thank you! I have not posted to this blog in ages, as I have not been fly fishing in ages! By ages, I mean merely a year or so. But still it feels like forever.
excellent points and the details are more precise than somewhere else, thanks.
