Just a quick post about Brass Ferrules. I doubt anyone is still manufacturing these now, so they can be really hard to come by, but I was just browsing ebay and found a new seller that has hundreds of them in a wide range of sizes.
I’ve just bought about £150 worth for current and future projects and I’ll probably wish I’d bought more if they’ve all gone and I need some more. If you restore old rods you really should get hold of some of these while they’re still available.
They have an ebay shop called Anglers Supplies, click here and search for ‘ferrules’ or click the ‘rod building’ link in the categories menu. They sell other rod building supplies too, so well worth adding to your favourite shops.
Here’s the link again: Anglers Supplies.
