Quick Tip...

If your two piece rod becomes stuck at the spiggot/ferrul - this is usually because of a vacuum effect - simply REMOVE THE BUTT CAP!! - as rods are usually hollow all the way through, this simply lets air escape via the butt cap - now put those rubber gloves away guy's and just ease them sections apart !!!

Or try this...Put the rod behind your knees, firmly grasp the rod on either side of the stuck ferrule and use your legs to pull it apart.
