To insure the best for your fly rod and the lifetime use of it, a few guidelines to rod care can keep your rod in excellent condition for years.

• Three and four piece rods should be assembled tip pieces first.
• Ferrules should be put together loosely first. 
• After lining up the guides, push the pieces together snugly.
• Practice to be sure you get the sections tightly together.
• Spigot ferrules (as on Steffen Brothers Fly Rods ) should have a gap of approximately 1/8" to 1/4" between rod sections. This prevents the section from rubbing against each other and allows for future wear.
• Take your fly rod apart by holding the sections close to the ferrule, pull and twist the bottom section. 
• Store and transport your fly rod in its rod bag and tube.
• If your rod or rod bag becomes wet, be sure they are completely dry before leaving them in the storage tube for any length of time.
