NOT just another rod question

[1dozenraw]

Yup... ice. Wrap the ferrule in a bag of ice and let it sit for a while... like 1/2 hour. Usually that's all it takes. I don't like the WD40 idea... but that's me. Or the heat.... Ice.... just ice.

I had one that was stuck (I didn't rinse off after use and the season I stored the rod over the winter) and couldn't separate the parts using the above methods. I finally used PB - a penetrating catalist - on it. I let it set a while and it came apart easily. Just remember to clean the PB off after separating the sections. Two piece rods are a pain.
