Man you've given us a wealth of information!! I wish I had watched this before mine sealed up on me. I'm going to try the ice trick. I believe that will work for me. I'll also follow your cleaning advice. Your channel has taught me so much since I subscribed 8 months ago. You are an awesome instructor!!! 🤜🏾🤛🏻
I do run two or three light swipes of candle on the ends of the connection, give it a slight wipe, it assures me that I can take it out together at the end of the day!
I have a hell of a time with my saltwater rods (Diawa's) sticking together, even a brand new one which is the worst. They are clean, I tried every ice trick in the book. The only thing that works is two people with good hand strength pulling apart, but I need to be able to get apart myself.
Same happened to me with 5 piece travel rod. Since i use ferule wax, no problems, you can even use candle wax or labello lip butter. Just wipe out after use.
Tony, whats your opinion on using 2pc rods? I know theres the advantage for easier travel, but what about overall rod flex and stregnth compared to a 1pc? My preference has aways been 1pc. rods even though transport can be a pain @ times with multiple combos.
Hi. Some of my rods have small dots on the male ferrules. After close inspection I found out that paint is off and graphite is seen. Is it bad news or does not worth to pay attention?
It depends on the full length of the rod you have. If you have a 2-piece travel rod, each piece is approximately half the full full length...so it's probably too long for luggage. We sell the TFO Traveler Spinning Rod and that's a 3-piece. It comes with a 32" carrying case, so that may fit better in luggage.

Recently bought a two piece rod at a good price that was stuck together. Tried ice packs a couple of times and it didnt help. I then heated some water and poured over it for a few seconds and it came apart very easily.

Labello lip butter also works great xd

I had to use a compressed air can, put it upside down and blast cold air to be able to pull it out.
Good info🎣💪🏽

I carry a rubber jar lid gripper to help take the rod pieces apart.
Would love a free pack of those soft lures, do you ship to Australia?
Great video, by the way.
Unfortunately, we do not. Only orders in the United States for now. Glad you enjoyed the video!!
Helpful thanks
I've heard cold works. Either a freezer, ice packs or leaving outside several days during the winter.
Excellent helpful advice. Thanks. :-)
Excellent tip thanks

What to do if your rod keep coming out
Yeah my name is Melvin I'm trying to find some I got a two-piece I got some of them a two-piece surf rods I'm trying where you put it together I'm trying to find the rubber nipple goes towards the end where it goes to the two parts where it goes in to the another one and I've been looking everywhere I can't find them because they're dry dried out and they're falling apart I need to replace them please if you know anybody please let me know thank you
I have a 4-piece rod that is stuck together. What do i do
Take it to a tackle shop and they should be able to help
I have a vintage rod and for the life of me couldn’t get it apart I had soaked some wd40 at the joint which is brass and still nothing finally took a heat gun and heated it for a few seconds and finally got it apart
Mine is the opposite . I put it on tight and after 10 or so casts , the top half flies off into the lake 😂😂
Like an old Capt named Flip once told me...rub the lower section on your nose. The natural oils from your skin are just enough to prevent sticking.
I actually have the adverse effect with my Daiwa. I guess I cast to hard. The first half always comes off
Same i have also the same issue
I have a two piece boat rod and its stuck. For the life of me I cannot get it unstuck.
Try gun oil. Like Ballistol.
I say put paraffin in traces on male part of the rod.
Primero😎👍
Yes they are RODS not POLES.
