Some rods have offset ferrules to allow the ferrule itself to be set back down on the more powerful and stronger butt section. But this sort of thing is usually found only on heavier and more powerful, and longer, multi-piece rods intended for surf type fishing.

Slight differences such as what you mention can be frustrating and really don't make much sense. But there is little you can do about it.
