Featherlight Fix It Tip

Jim Jenkins is an Eagle Claw Featherlight devotee and he figured out a somewhat "fashionable" way to keep his ferrules fitting tight with a short strip of yellow electrical tape over where the rod sections meet.

One tip I have for Featherlight fans is that they tend to come apart after casting awhile.  Scotch electrical tape in yellow matches the wraps nearly perfectly and a two inch strip wrapped around the ferrule keeps the rod together as long as you need it to.  This is easily found at all the big box hardware stores."

Of course any color electrical tape will do but you know you've got to go yellow on yellow if you can find it.
