- Never twist a bamboo rod when putting together or taking apart!
-Be sure to rotate tips on consecutive fishing days!
- Never put your bamboo rod away wet!
- Avoid leaving a bamboo rod in a hot car!
- Be sure to store your rod in a cool, dry place with the brass cap off!
- Ferrules should be kept clean, and the ferrule plug in place when rod is not in use!
- It should not be necessary, but is permissible to use paraffin wax or soap on the ferrules, but never grease from your nose as that will cause corrosion and your ferrules to bind!
