beginner question about two-piece surf rods
I have never surf-fished before -- bought a few relatively inexpensive 10'
surf rods for myself and my kids. Is it recommended to spray the rubber tip of the upper section with a lubricant to make the rods easy to take apart? Thanks Timo

beginner question about two-piece surf rods
Just rub it on your nose. The oils in your skin make it easy to take apart.

On the third cast the top section went flying along the line. I probably looked like an idiot. Have never done it since.

beginner question about two-piece surf rods
Don't take it apart. I always get dirt and sand in mine. Oil would make it
worse. It's never the same when you put it back together. Regards, Cliff Fishing: "a sport surrounded entirely by liars in old clothes"

beginner question about two-piece surf rods
In fly fishing, most use candle wax on the male ferule. This is more to
make sure they don't come apart, but it alsohelps in getting them apart. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Are you still wasting your time with spam?...
