I have this 9 foot 6wt graphite that I bought the handle segment and the first segment with the stripper guide don’t snug up tight dot to dot, this rod has a graphite ferrule that extends from the handle segment “male” that inserts into the next segment . can I just sand this a bit to close the segment? So it fits snugger closer to a dot to dot match? Currently a gap of .25 .50 ish.
I will be back. I'm never truly gone.....Last post by Brad RIP

If this is a spigot ferrules rod they don’t touch. There should be a gap

The dots are only for alignment not a depth gauge, If the section stays in while casting you should be good. If not, there are other problems to look for.
Most people double haul so they can throw their mistakes further - Bernard "Lefty" Kreh - R.I.P.

For a spigot ferrule rod that is the proper gap. Over the years of use it might narrow, but should never reach the point that the sections are touching with no gap.
