SLW you might try a condem on the male ferrule if your affraid of getting it dirtier than you can wipe off on your sleeve.

For long term storage the butt should go in the tube first to elimate the reel seat weight on the rod. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Empty Creel) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/133717 Fri, 10 Apr 2009 12:29:38 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/133266/t/Ferrule-plugs-.html#reply-133266 Okay, I'll give you that one, they do look cool, specially Steve's.

I know that the plugs won't replace proper care, but I think that they look cool!

Ferrule plugs may look nice, but they won't protect from damage and they won't replace proper care. My rods go in the tube skinny end up whether I'm keeping it or selling it.

I always tell my customers to store the rods grip-end up, and I believe this is very important to rod safety, particularly for two-piece rods.

- Most modern rod tubes for two-piece rods are generally 1.625 OD and 2.595 ID. (OD minus 2X wall thickness). Most classic rod tubes are usually smaller ID still.
- Most cigar grips are about .925 diameter or larger, and Wells's, Western's, etc. are even larger over the flare of the grip.
- Most 4wt and... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Blue Quill) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/132461 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 23:22:25 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/132458/t/Ferrule-plugs-.html#reply-132458 I use them if they came with the rod but don't sweat it if the rod does not come with them
I generally store them with the plug up, the unlt exception being a few 3pc rod that need to be stored butt up to avoid too tight a fit with butt down.
I store the rod however the maker sent it. Under normal use, in/out of house, car, hotel, I don't think it matters much. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (creakycane) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/132458 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 23:01:00 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/132454/t/Ferrule-plugs-.html#reply-132454 slw wrote:
