GT Special - rod to handle connection problem?

[John Westcott]

I have had the problem of getting T-curves apart in hot conditions, and have subsequently found that applying a bit of Graphite powder to the base of the rod(or into the handle section carefully) section improves the way they slide in & out. I have not found that this causes them to move or slip under load or casting.

I had these problem too for some rods but , try too add some tooth paste on those joint while setting , when detaching those rods apart have problem ( hard to detach ) , dip them on fresh water for a while then try to detach, I hope this trick work well..
