white glass spigot ferrule sources?

Question for the fiberglass builders here, I'll be starting on a 7' flyrod blank soon and I'll need to find glass spigot material, the blank doesn't have ferrules yet. Can anyone offer any ideas or thoughts on finding a source for this material? Someone prior to this mentioned I could turn an acrylic blank to fit but I'd like to avoid the extra time involved with this if I can? Thought about all glass ice rod blanks but I am pretty sure they'd be too small.
Thanks,


Tim

You might look at local flea markets and find some old solid glass rods. You could possibly cut a section out of one of those to use. They seem to be easy to come by, cheap and very sturdy.

If I recall right, when we ferruled fiberglas rod we used a piece of old solid fiberglass rod as a spigot. Get the correct taper to match your rod blank and push it through your blank leaving about 1-2 inches inside, then glue it in place. Fit the next piece of blank over it and trim so you have 1-2 inches inside it. You should have the tip end of the spigot a little on the tight side for a fit. You can sand this till the tip fits tight. Do not fit the tip all the way against the bottom, leave a small gap in between to allow for wear over time. Hope this is clear.

Lamiglas will sell the 1pc. untrimmed blanks on a special order basis along with the ferrule stock. Let me know here at Mud Hole if you are interested in any of these type of products.

Todd, I'll send you an e-mail.
I am going to build a 7 ft flyrod from a SR2000 Cortland spin blank. The blank is tip over butt ferruled but I plan to cut the blank to match the Cortland FR2000 taper, may work and it might not...just depends upon the blanks measurements and I haven't received the blank yet. Once I receive it I'll know more.
Thanks,

Tim
