Metal ferrule upside down?

Is there any reason why you shouldn't put a metal ferrule on upside down,female part toward the tip and male part toward the handle? I have a broken rod that was smashed up pretty bad and I think the best way to fix it is with a metal ferrule. It was a 2 piece tip over butt so the tip diameter is a lot bigger than the butt diameter so the metal ferrule fits a lot better upside down. Re: Metal ferrule upside down?

If the tube ID measurements work for you in that configuration, then so be it. Just be advised that a metal ferrule will add quite a bit of weight, and in a bad place, on that rod.
