Blank extension idea...

So I read the article about extending blanks in the library and then just read the topic about ferrules on this page... Anyone ever use a metal ferrule to to extend a blank? If they are made in a size large enough to do so, it may be a neat way to extend a rod. Or not, I am not sure...just typing and thinking aloud...

Many rods were once built that way, specifically older boat and trolling rods.
