A:
The Power Stick Series Surf rods 9' feet in length or greater are two piece rods with the ferrule dividing the rod into two equal halves. They are wrapped and epoxied at the ferrule for greater strength and durability. It is a common practice to tape a surf rod ferrule with electrical tape prior to casting to offset the tremendous torque that would otherwise cause ferrule separation and rod breakage.
