Two Piece Rod Ferrules
Brandon Khoo:
Here is a picture of a rod belt and another of how you wrap it around a rod.
You cannot believe how easy it makes the task of inserting and separating the two pieces. I regard it now as an essential piece of equipment. It is a very small investment which can make life very easy.
Neil Griffiths:
After a few sessions on big GT's a butt joined rod may get so tight that it will require two people and the rod wrap technique to get them apart.
It seems that in most of these cases there is salt crystals on the join surfaces creating undue friction. Once they where cleaned out they went back to normal.
Brandon Khoo:
I've had this! I tend to separate the rods at the end of each day and give it a wipe down to ensure I don't get the build up. It is not a pleasant experience when you are packing at the end of the trip and you can't separate your rods in order to fit them into your rod tube.

I knew I was never going to get away with that one! It's not like I don't have an rod belts but at something like $8AUD in Hong Kong, well, I had to get something ;D
