Thats because they are a taper fit,if they came together it would be
time to replace them,dont worry,just get out & use them.


could you just double check that for me by checking the pic iv uploaded
of the actual rod. Appreciate your time.

Looks perfect to me that is the normal fit for spigot ferrules. Like Cliff
says when they touch its because the rod is worn out even then you can
shave some off the end of the female side to gain a little more time,
don't think I 've ever had a rod that long tho'
