You should not put anything on ferrels. Not wax , not nose oil (despite this being passed on fisherman to fisherman for many years , its a wives tale and not a good practice) , not anything. Anything that is oily or waxy will trap dirt or dust particles. These will bind up the ferrel but also cause wear of the ferrel over time. For ferrels , cleanliness is next to Godliness. Clean them thouroughly on a regular basis. If they are kept clean , wrung together and taken apart periodically , they should not freeze up or twist in use. If you leave them together for two months, in and out of a hot car , etc , its hard to know what may happen.

Now Im talking ferrels right in the fiber materials. For attached metal ferrels , etc , I really don't know but maybe a little nose oil may help there. Its been so long since I've seen a metal ferrel that it not all that big a deal for most.
