| Re: rod stuck together either try 2 people, twisting the sections in different directions this next one sounds daft but can help, if you can remove the butt cap will often lose the vacuum inside to help as well good luck __________________ www.exmouthsaa.co.uk 24 beers in a case and 24 hours in a day simples You won't know unless you go...and if you do go please let us know :D     |

| Re: rod stuck together Hi ive just parted a daiwa amorphus 4/10 uptide rod that had been stuck what i did was pour boilling hot water out of a kettle over the joint maybe six or seven times then pull and twist the rod if at first it doesent move try more boilling water it will take time should the water not be hot enough i put the boilling water out of the kettle into pan on the cooker to get it super hot this did the trick i now have a pair of the best ever uptide rods made knock spots off the TDX range tightlines Alain |

| Re: rod stuck together wd40 & other oils will be absorbed by carbon blanks and make them swell effectively jamming the spigot. hold the rod and repeatedly flex it at the spigot while twisting the rod around in your hands so the blank gets flexed in all directions . this will alow air to get between the 2 sections and will eventually free it off. toptip- supplied by 'planktonboy' when i was wingeing about my beloved awb getting stuck together after, like a compleate d**khead, without thinking i used chip fat to lubricate the joint. it might take an hour but this did work. the rod had been stuck in one piece for about a year despite my best efforts to separate it __________________ beer so many venues, so little time. |

| Re: rod stuck together the hot water didnt work on mine, thats why i was asking for ideas at the time neither did , 2x strong guys pulling & twisting it apart. see above but with tacky gloves for xtra grip removeing the butt cap & the tip ring to try and break any air locks, also getting a 7ft rod to drill a hole in the cork bung and def rule out any air lock issues. application of hot water, washing up liquid, hotwater & washing up liquid. 6 months of anger,rage and lots of foul language  __________________ beer so many venues, so little time. |

| Re: rod stuck together do you have access to a vice or vice grips if so trap the top half in the vice (not to tight you dont want to crack the blank then get some rubber gloves and put all you weight into twisting it the rubber gloves add extra grip __________________ give a man a fish and feed him for a day ,teach a man to fish and he will be gone for a week fishing is a discipline in the equality of men ,for all men are equal in the eyes of a fish |
