I want to load test for guide spacing on a 13ft surf rod 2 pc. would it be advisable to wrap some tape around the tip over butt ferrule to strengthen it before applying any force? Re: Static load test on 2 pc surf rod

yes
or even a quick - tight - thread wrap it is used to help the furrel from splitting under pressure when the rod is loaded Bill - willierods.com Re: Static load test on 2 pc surf rod

Hello Joe
I'm with Bill on this one, I just did 2 and wrapped and epoxied both. With them done the stiffness on the test will be the same as the stiffness when fishing so you can place your guides more accurately. Bob, New Bern, NC. Re: Static load test on 2 pc surf rod
