rod stuck together

[southpole]

Hi i am fairly new to fishing i have a 2nd hand diawa power cast 4-6 oz rod.

The 2 pieces are stuck together and i cant pull apart or teist at all . I like the rod and can cast a good distance with it. so dont wont to lose it

Any ideas how i can separate the 2 sections.


thanks Paul

Yip, fairy liquid! Let it sit for a few mins then give it a few twists.

Or WD40!

I used to use a wee bit of candle wax to keep it friction free... maybe that is just me though but it does seem to work.

Lol Justin - he needs to get it apart first

I assume you mean rub the candle on the spigot not pour wax on it

works on my planes and handsaws !

You tend to find older rods have years worth of sand and other crud stuck in the top hollow end

im happy to come and look at it fella - sometimes all it needs is two pairs of hands and a real good grip - had the same happen to me on the beach before and its a pain knowing you cant take it home like that

Never thought of that!!

Yes i mean rub it on the top section that fits into the bottom section works a treat.

Jesus, it must be well stuck if the trusty old fairy liquid didnt work!

As that mentalist says, 2 fellas giving her a good old tug could maybe sort it!
