Ryder Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Hi Raiders, I like to say I rescued this rod from the tip, but the truth is more like I saved her from anyone else getting their paws on her. Jarvis Walker 8ft Black Queen DeLuxe with cork grips and the red agate runners. I got it for 5 bucks. Its in good used condition but the ferrule is seized, and the top half of the rod turned 90 degrees. It looks like the top section is only about halfway into the ferrule. I would like to know if there is any trick to getting the two sections apart. I was thinking penetrating oil?. Its a classic rod, I'm sure many Raiders have owned. I'd like to keep it original. Thanks Ryder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackfish Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Mmmmm, Chrome on Brass ferrule. i got nothing but I do remember in the day they got stuck good. Also I loved seeing the Argate Runners, I had forgotten all about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickmarlin62 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Try penetratator first be careful if heating you can damage blank where ferrule bonds to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 Thanks for the replies and the advice. It's soaking in Penetrene at the moment. I'm not going to rush it, might mean a trip to the rod doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryder Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Heat did the trick. It took a few goes, letting it cool in between tries, then 'POP' I'll try to get a fish with it tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
