I have never built a rod so any advice should be at the idiot level.

I bought a browning 4 piece fly rod at a yard sale for 1 buck. It seems like a nice rod and casts well. Some of the really good casters at the fish in liked it as well. Z said "Nice stick" I guess that means he liked it.

On one of the ferrules if you are not carefull it will slide all the way in! If you are carefull when putting it together and don't let it go to far it is ok and will not come apart. Any ideas on how to fix this. I put a small piece of duct tape around the male section so it can't slide to far for now.

Ps it has graphite for ferrules not metal.
