Rocco 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 Do you actually tape the ferrule joints before casting with them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyFishin'Jam 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 hahahaha! I have seen why people do this! Actually a friend nearly lost half his rod, i couldn't stop laughing - i am so mean. I did hear that using a bit of candle wax rubbed onto the male ends (sounds kinky!) can alleviate this problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlexC 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2011 I both wax and tape the ferrules on my two-handed rods before using them. Doesn't have anything to do with keeping them from coming apart, though. Helps prevent any of the individual sections from twisting. If you tape, or wax, or both, you'll still want to check that each segment is still properly aligned with the rest every now and then.

Brown Bomber 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2011 I also don't tape or wax. Check my rod through out the day to see if it is coming apart or twisting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigfoot 0 Report post Posted October 4, 2011 I have never used a spey rod but I have always be interested in them. Quick question I fish for warm water fish bass panfish etc. Would a spey rod be good for that type of fishing? BF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
