Of course i wrapped it anyway because i always do the opposite of whats recommended . Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 12/04/2017 08:30PM by herb canter.

There are various types of tip-over-butt ferrules. Some are "belled" and have that bulge which supposedly retains ore of a one-piece feel. The others have their tip sections enlarged over a longer area and do not have a one-piece counterpart model/feel. You wouldn't be able to see the reinforcement in either by eye.

i think rod blank makers have got these ferrules down to a science..there are so many more rods with ferrules..they are not going to leave re-enforcing to someone else, especislly me.lol. i think the main thing is to keep ferrules clean..dirty or gritty ferrules don,t seat very well and soon come loose Re: Wrapping Female Ferrules - Specifically Mudhole

If you do not want to wrap your ferrule don’t wrap it! If you want added security wrap it! These are the things that make a rod custom. Sometimes I think people can become almost anal about lightness, but that their choice.

there is a list of FMG. that don't require wrapping the ferrule , after saying that, what year did they start it ? then the blank that you have, where will it fall ? I just feel better wrapping knowing that I wrapped it an will last [I HOPE ] I just like to be careful William Sidney AK Re: Wrapping Female Ferrules - Specifically Mudhole

I have a St Croix 2 Pc ultra lite and A MHX 2 Pc ultralight i have caught hundreds of large crappie and the Occasional bass to 3 and 4 pounds on. My guide train layout made the ferrule wrap look uneven or odd to me so i didn't wrap the ferrules and i have had zero failure. If the ferrule wrap takes away from the geometrical look of the rod i would leave it off. Re: Wrapping Female Ferrules - Specifically Mudhole

I just make the point that whenever possible on a multi piece rod, that I place a guide on the joint and then wrap on the guide so I am wrapping both the guide and the joint at the same time.
Good luck Re: Wrapping Female Ferrules - Specifically Mudhole

I do that too. Otherwise, blank color without CP. But I never move a guide to make that happen.
Interestingly, I wrap them much closer to the edge than most photos I've seen. Seems if you don't protect the edge, what's the point? Re: Wrapping Female Ferrules - Specifically Mudhole

Hello Jon & Tom.
There are at least 2 articles which list what MFR's suggest for their ferrules. The first one was V-11 / I-4 / Pg. 16 and has the least information of the two. The second was V-18 / I-4 / Pg. 22 and has most of the MFR's listed with their recommendations. Hope this helps. Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines. Bob, New Bern, NC.

As of 7 years ago, Sage required a ferrule wrap. Gary Loomis says his blanks will hold up without a wrap, but he says a 1/4 inch wrap will never hurt. When I first got my first CTS spinning travel blank, the paperwork said ferrule reinforcement wraps were not necessary. Re: Wrapping Female Ferrules - Specifically Mudhole

Good morning, although there are a number of thoughts on this process we feel it is a good practice to wrap female ferules on multi-piece rods. Regards.
