Lubricate the rod ferrules

Korrie Broos

Always lubricate the ferrules on your rod, before you assemble your rod. Ferrules both sit better and get apart easier when lubricated. Whether you pull the male ferrule along your nose or thru your hair, make sure you have a bit of lubrication on the ferrules. This will help your you to break up the rod at the end of the day.
The best lubricant is proper ferrule wax, but rubbing a candle on the male part can also work in a tight spot.

Long story longer

But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
