  1. I'm trying to get some info on the Airex Durods . I know they were made in the 40s an 50s an as far as I know there was a 6' and a 6 1/2 model an that's as much as I can find on them . Anyone have any more info or give me a link on them ? Thanks ahead Jim

  2. I have the top section with both ferrules on it outside tonight letting the cold get to it . I put a few drops of Kroil oil inside the female ferrule standing with it up so it wouldn't leek out . I made a jig to fit around the male ferrule out of wood in two pieces an screwed together with a hole the size of the male but smaller then the female lip on the ferrule. Planning on putting it in a length of PVC pipe longer then the rod section with the wood jig over the opening. Slide a dowel sick inside the male an tap the dowel with a hammer. Hope this will work .

  3. Tried the icing method but it didn't work that good for me . It did come apart but both male an female ferrules are still together on the tip section now but not on the butt section. I guess I'm getting closer but there yet LOL  Bet these ferrules have been together 50 years or more . Any other ideas ??????

  4. Trying to find some info on them . Looking for what lengths they came in an the model numbers . Actions I think were in lite an med but not sure about that . Any info would be help . Can't seam to find any info on the internet about Airex bamboo spinning rods. Thanks Jim

  5. Years ago I used to make the trip to Michigan in the fall for the salmon run but I haven't gone in years . I use to fish the Plat near Beulah an other streams in the area . I always did very well but I haven't gone in a long time . Just wondering if any of you guys go there an is it as good as it use to be ? Thanks Jim

  6. I have several abu Garcia 5500 line counter reels that I use for live bait minnow fishing in the reservoirs for large trout . I can't seem to find a decent reel cover to protect then during transportation . The line counter models have the counter protruding past the side plate of the reel . Does anyone know of a cover that will fit this reel properly not just an over size cover ? Thanks Jim

  7. Newbe here. I never fished for tilefish before and I plan on giving it a try this year. I live in NJ and I know of a boat the Voyager out of Pt Pleasant that fishes for them. If any pros out there can give me some pointers were to start will be a lot of help. Rods, reels, line and all else I might need to get started. Also when is the best time of year for success? Thanks Jim
