Fly Rod Care, Caring for your Fly Rod!

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, then line the guides up and push the pieces together snugly.
Practice to be sure you get the sections tightly together.
Spigot ferrules ( as on Steffen Bros. 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.
