Reply To: Fly Rod Assembly

I don’t know about waxing. After the trip, when you get home and clean everything real good, maybe. Do you do that? How about the female side of the ferrule. My concern would be leaving a sticky substance on the ferrule that may pick up small particles of dirt or sand. Then the next time the rod is assembled, the ferrules would be contaminated, and you may end up with a couple of sections stuck together.

I do wax my wading staff, manufactures instruction, and he furnished the wax. But then my wading staff is not a broom stick.
