What should I do? Thin coat of epoxy and sand to fit, only thing that I can think of.
Thanks for the help Jim Re: Two piece rods comes apart when casting

Just how are you putting the 2 pieces together? You should not just push the parts together you need to do it with a slight twist in the 2 pieces as you assemble them.. Re: Two piece rods comes apart when casting

Try putting a small piece of small diameter mono in the ferrule. Re: Two piece rods comes apart when casting

Try cleaning BOTH sides of the ferrule.
It does not take much to keep them from joining completely. And if you do the "twist", just be gentle. Best wishes, Ron Schneider Schneider's Rod Shop Mountain Home, Arkansas [www.schneidersrods.com] mtnron40@yahoo.com 870-424-3381 Re: Two piece rods comes apart when casting

Integral ferrules are designed to be brought together until just snug, and then twisted, very snugly, until they are tight.
What type ferrule do you have? Tip over butt, tip into butt, or a plug/spigot type? ............ Re: Two piece rods comes apart when casting

No ferrule, fiberglass to fiberglass connection

Something is getting lost in translation. The two pieces need to connect somewhow.
Does the tip of the rod slide over the butt? (tip over butt) Does the tip of the rod slide into the butt? (tip into butt, butt over tip) is there a section of rod that slides into either section where the rod is smaller that the each fo the sections?(spigott [www.rodbuilding.org] ) Chris Richer Iroquois ON Re: Two piece rods comes apart when casting

Right, you've got a ferrule, it's just integral as part of the rod.

RM magazine covered this a while back, also search for "ferrule repair." Don't add adhesive, epoxy, any substance until you find out how to do it right. If you have the integral ferrule, like Tom mentions, a simple trim will fix it. And the proper technique for putting the rod together is important.
