Orvis Ferrule Wax
Extend the life of your fly rods with Orvis Ferrule Wax. Eliminates friction and wear when putting fly rods together and taking them apart. Lubricates the ferrule as it flexes during use and prevents undue wear and tear. Allows the ferrule to engage deeper and more firmly, eliminating loosening and potential damage. Lubricate the male end and insert with a 90 degree twist for best results. Made in USA.

About time!,
February 6, 2013
By: DMILLER
from Sweet Home, OR
"My Orvis rods range from brand new to 35 years old. They all go together and come apart easily now. One seats the furrules deeper and the others come apart without fear something will break.
So simple and so good."

Good Product,
January 25, 2013
By: NNCC
from San Jose, CA
"Keeps the ferrules held together better than using nothing and prevents the sections from seizing together. Very important to use on rods that endure a lot of torque: switch and spey rods and 7-wt.+ rods. One container will last forever."

"short an simple you get better use out of your rod with this. The best example is this, when skate boards are grinding on things they put down wax, the ferrules grind when put together so put some wax on em."

"This works great on my seven hundred dollar fly rods, holds secure and rods slide together smoothly,and there's plenty of wax to last for a long time. My spinning and bait cast rods all have been waxed also and now feel nice and smooth on assembly and disassembly."

A life(rod) saver!,
September 16, 2012
By: MattL
from Winooski, VT
"I didn't realize how much this wax helped until I fished my Access for the first time without applying it. While at the car, I was scared I was going to break my rod because the ferrules just did not want to come apart. I had to sit there for minutes gently pulling and twisting. After applying the wax I've not had any issues with my ferrules. They fit in snug, but do not get jammed in there. You must make sure you do not over apply it though. If you do you will find your rod sections slipping a little(I LOADED it on my Hydros the first time and had slipping issues until I rubbed some off. Definitely something everyone should have if they plan on taking care of their rod in the long run."

Not so good,

"The wax is too hard - actually just the same as a candle. I had orvis wax previously and it was softer and much better, but you might as well save your money and use a candle as use this."

"When ferrules get stuck a few times a person will realize the value of this wax product. The idea that you may be about to snap a very expensive rod is a bad feeling. Ferrule wax can save the day!"

Wax Works,
December 13, 2011

from Rector Arkansas
"I started useing Orvis ferrule wax when I bought a new Superfine Trout Bum.A friend told me to try it on my new rod.I had been useing an Orvis Clearwater rod without useing ferrule wax. I had a few times the rod kinda stuck together. I have not had that problem while useing the ferrule wax on all my rods. The wax works great! It might just save your rod from damage. A small cost for rod insurance."

"I found it to be nothing but parffin, but I do have a cute container to keep it in. I was told it was supposed to have Bee's Wax in it. If it did, it was a very small amount. Having had bees for about 10 years, I will just put my Bee's wax in the cute little container."
