If they're 2-piece rods, the ferrules should be an integral part of the blank. Surely you didn't buy 1960's era blanks that require metal ferrules be adhered to the sections.

You don't need anything else. The tip fits over the butt. Put a thread reinforcement wrap on the female ferrule starting as close as you can to the ferrule edge (at least within a milimeter or so) and make it snug. A thread. Make it about twice as long as the diameter happens to be at that point. That will reduce the chance of getting a split out at the ferrule edge over time.
