I can appreciate how it happens, I hadn't thought about all the contortions that a spey rod goes through until now, but Im just picturing buying a car off the lot, and every once in awhile the door flys open going around a turn, "Well, I am making some hard turns, I guess it should be expected that the doors fly open every once in a while.."
I know its over-stating the problem, but the idea of buying a $600 rod, then driving to Home Depot to pick up a roll of electrical tape to make it work, just doesnt seem right.. :)
I appreciate the education on this thread.
(don't have time to search now, but Ill be checking out the locking ferrules tonight - if anyone has some links, please send them).

Brenden, modern tech. just hasn't got around to designing locking ferrules that were used on the bamboo rods of yesteryear. The locking ferrules were a marvel of fine machine work. The ferrules were made to slip together like the conventional ferrules but with a threaded ring used to keep it all together.
