I'm looking for a ferrule for an old Heddon #125 bamboo fly rod. It's a 9 foot rod. I am having a real tough time finding one. Its the female ferrule on the butt section of the rod. Any help would be great!

Try Ricks Rods in Colo. He has most of what you need.
The female ferrules on the Heddon 125 are notorious for splitting.
Personally, I would not replace the damaged ferrule with the same Heddon ferrule.
I would opt for changing out of all the ferrules unless you wish to keep the rod as original.
When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
