How To Separate a Stuck Fly Rod (3 Methods That Work)

If you’ve ever had a fly rod ferrule get stuck, you know how frustrating it can be. In this video, I walk through the three methods I use to separate a stuck fly rod without damaging the rod or risking a broken section. I demonstrate each method in the order that I use them depending on how badly the rod is stuck: 🎣 Behind the Knees Method 🎣 Silicone Jar Opener Method 🎣 Masking Tape Method These techniques have helped me get apart everything from mildly stuck ferrules to rods that felt completely locked up. If you fly fish long enough, this is probably going to happen eventually, so hopefully this helps save someone from a broken rod! 👇 Have you ever had a fly rod get stuck? What worked for you?
