I generally like the Mud Hole product line. But while these ferrules did fit my needs for a low cost repair of a blue collar bamboo rod, they are not the equivalent of even the lowest end hardware that would’ve come on those rods. The fit SEEMS snug, but after a dozen casts I notice that the sections have rotated due to slippage. The next step up in quality however is a set of ferrules in the $40 to 50 range. These are ok for what they are.
Folks at Mud Hole,
I am a 73-year-old fisherman living in Wausau, Wisconsin. Wisconsin is a great fresh water fishing state. At one time we had a company called Marathon Bait and Tackle in Wausau. When I was in 7th grade, I bought a Marathon Bait “Duke 300 (MODEL R 3:2 6’9”)” spinning rod which quickly became my favorite. Last fall while walleye fishing, I caught something much larger than a walleye and after working the fish for 25 minutes, the female ferrule end broke. I was heartbroken that my favorite rod was now in two pieces. I researched on-line for what I could do to rectify the issue and found that “all I needed to do was buy a new ferrule set, heat gun the old ferrule pieces off and replace them.” Simpler stated than done! I traveled all over the northern part of Wisconsin stopping in many fish and bait shops looking for a ferrule set to no avail.
Now for the hero of the story, “Mud Hole” to the rescue. I cannot thank you enough for having exactly what I needed to renew my favorite fishing pole.
Thanks so much,
Dan Bowen

Tried one on a 6' UL I had built because I wanted it to be more travel friendly. The ferrule fits well and works great. It took me a bit of planning and figuring before mustering the nerve to cut a perfectly good rod but it paid off. Easy peasy!
Awesome for my design
Exactly what i needed
Used these on a bamboo fly rod. These take gun bluing very well. I wanted black ferruls so I took a chance and used gun bluing on them. They turned out great.
Excellent product! Use them a lot for restoration and scarf rods. Picture of 6 ft rod made from a really messed up Montegue Rapidan.
The Id of the short ferrule is to small to match up with the od at the point where you cut the pole. Had to do some modifications to make it fit. Might have to strengthen the pole to prevent breakage.
they look really good and fit together tightly. might need one smaller size but it may have been measure mistakes too.

Broke a ferrule on a bamboo fly rod, theses worked great
I have four Penn 7ft rods. They are great rods, but they are one piece, which makes it hard to fit in my truck. So, I cut them so I can have 40-60 rods and used ferrules from Mudhole. The ferrules fit to perfection, I and used epoxy to affix them. Great ferrules, fast service, and great fit. Foolishly, I also ordered ferrules from Ebay. These ferrules came from mainland Chine, took weeks to arrive, and fitment was not accurate--my regrettable mistake. From now on I will buy ferrules only from Mud Hole. NEM 06/28/24
Wish you carried more sized. Some of what I need were out of stock.
Great quality and service
A bit long for my rod. I trimmed it with a drummel and the ends fit perfect.
I am restoring a bamboo rod for the first time. The ferrules are in tact but cracked. The male part of ferrules measure 6.7 and 4.3 mm. Would I order a FSS-7.5 and FSS-
You are correct, you would need a FSS-7.5 and a FSS-5.0
Rod is 3/16 inch. Your table is in millimeters what size should I purchase?
If your is 3/16" on what will be the male side, this translates to 4.76mm. You'll need a size 5.5mm ferrule.
Have a fenwick ultralight 5 ft; what size do I need? is small a 4?
Hey Chris, the size ferule that you will need will be determined by the diameter of the rod at the point that the ferrule will sit. Under the product details and specifications you can find a list of all of the internal diameters for each size ferule size. - Mud Hole
How do you know what size ferrules to get for a two piece pole?
Hey Michael, most modern rod blanks have ferrules built into the blanks so that a brass ferrule is not necessary. However to size a ferrule you will need to know the outside diameter of the pieces at the point where the ferrule is going to be put on. - Mud Hole
