Has anyone measured the pieces in the middle where the ferrules go? I'm looking to get some brass ferrules and was wondering if anyone new what size I'd need?
Also, since I didn't get it cut with one piece longer...would a spigot ferrule not be ideal? meaning am I going to have trouble getting the pieces to be equal?
Sometimes a crowd can be the loneliest place
Yep, I was talking about the spigot ferrule. I figured on using the solid fiberglass piece. I just have several hollow pieces of fiberglass laying around from old telescoping bream poles, and I was trying to find a use for them....
Thanks
I have heard from everyone but Jack Hise and with all the goings on at his place, it doesn't suprise me.
It's time to set a new finish date...any thoughts?

Complete by April 15th. Shipped to be received by May 1 ? Easy for me to say ... I've only got two rods in production right now!!!
It's really up to you guys, I'm pretty flexible.

A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
I'm OK with tax day, Betty. You know that's tax day, right?That gives me enough time. I'm good with anything after that also....easy to get along with. I say lets just give everybody a chance to chime in, some of us are no doubt busier than I am.

April 15 sounds good to me.
Hey Brad leave Jack alone he is busy till he drops Joe off at he airport Sunday.
Remember we all live down stream
cholcomb13 with both pieces being equal the spiggot would work the best. I have not worked with ferrules before so I am really not the one to ask. April 15th works for me. I have several rods in production but I have already fitted this in. I am excited about this swap and very nervous. Mine will probably be the ugliest one so who ever gets mine be forwarned it will be UGLY.
April 15 sounds good to me. I had some time today, so I got started. I have the spigot installed, the handle glued up, tiptop installed, all of the guides placed and all but 3 guides wrapped along with the keeper and the decal edges. One more session of wrapping, and I'll be ready to start putting on the finish. It is really going quickly.
