Was conversing with a fellow flyfisher last week, that I run into from time to time on a particular stream, and he complained of his two piece fly rod separating twice that day while casting. Wasn't sure just what to tell him other then to make sure it was firmly seated when first joined. I usually insert the sections at an angle and twist together with light pressure. Any other/better advice that I could pass on the next time we meet? By the way, he had an 8 1/2' rod; but, I'm not sure of the brand. Should have asked if it'll make a difference.
