Tackle/Fishing Supplies..Tips/Tricks

[OldTimer]

Here’s a tip I learnt from Ted Knott** – on how to lubricate “sticky” fishing rod ferrule connections that are hard to put in and pull out. It works on all rod materials (metal, glass, graphite).

Just rub the male end on the connection on the sides of your nose – your body oils are just enough to make the connection much easier to put together and to come apart, without over lubricating.


Cheers,
