Bamboo Ferrules

There are only a handful of rod makers in the world who produce the bamboo ferrule.
This really is a super method to joint a fly rod.
It is very important that the joint is made
correctly and requires extremely accurate working measurements to ensure a perfect fit.
This integrated ferrule system has the following advantages:
1) Because the ferrule is hexagon shaped the rod cannot twist out of alllignment.
2) It is far stronger than any nickel silver or brass ferrule jointing system.
3) Very low weight
4) Flexible joint
5) You will never have to worry about aligning the guides when you assemble the rod anymore.

This picture shows the bamboo ferrule, which is integrated into the wall of the rod.
