I have to replace a ferrule on an old split bamboo fly rod as the existing male section is cracked. What is the best way to remove the damaged ferrule sections? Is it safe and/or effective to apply low heat? Thanks Re: Ferrule replacement

Heat works well, and bamboo is almost indestructible, but be careful, it will ignite just like a dry stick, if you get too close with the heat gun. Check to make sure that there isn't a pin holding the ferrule in place. If there is a pin, you'll have to push it out, before pulling the ferrule off, or else you'll splinter the bamboo.

Dan, what type of ferrule are you replacing? Straight or step down.
Thanks. Re: Ferrule replacement

If it's badly cracked many times you can just grab it with pliers and peel it off. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
