Ferrules
Site Navigation Menu This site uses
All 13/64ths Left to right:
SS, SS Truncated, Stepdown, Dickerson Style
Step Tip Ferrules (Dickerson Style)
Ferrules of my own design for for use with step tip taper Rods such as Dickerson, Payne, FE Thomas etc.
These eliminate the problem of either reducing the butt section to fit an under sized female or building up the tip to fit an over sized male and are a very slim profile creating a perfect, tidy solution to an old problem.
Super Swiss Style Regular Length
The modern day standard ferrule.
Super Swiss Style Truncated Length
Sized to be 75% of the length of the standard length SS ferrule.
Micro Ferules
These are as small as you can realisticaly go.
They're designed with the male slide being twice its diameter with the rest of the ferrule following from there.
Aesthetics are not a significant feature.
These requre extreme care in dressing.
Step Down Ferrules
The original ferrule. They requre the male to have a step inside the slide which is a slight complication however, they are the slimmest ferrule that does not create a swell on the rod being the same dimater as the cane they're mounted on.
They have the least wind resistace and weight of all standard types of ferrules and look quite handsome.

Available in Swiss, Swiss truncated, micro, step down and Dickerson stepped taper rods. These are machined ferrules, not a single solder joint to fail.
I use Nickel Aluminium Bronze (alloy AMS 4640 [Aerospace Material Specifications]) the superior material for ferrules because it is
approx 15%-20% stronger than fully drawn 18% Nickel Silver ferrules as well as being approx 13% lighter with no disadvantages.
Please note: I make these ferrules with the male approx 0.001"-0.003" over sized to allow the maker to dress them to suit.
See why I believe this material to be so good for ferrules here.
What are these different ferrule types anyhow?. Details on postage and of how the discount is applied.
Australia Post will no longer permit non document letters to be sent as letters so ferrules now need to be sent as parcels.
Tracked post takes approx 14 day to arrive to the US.
Express Post is approx 4-5 days.

Regular SS 18/64, 16/64 & Stepdown 13/64 shown.
Stepdown 13/64.
Oxidized ferrules using Birchwood Casey Brass Black:
Perma Blu gives almost the same results but has a more very dark plum shade than pure black as given by Brass Black.
If you don't see what you'd like drop me a line and let me know.
Thanks again.
BTW the micro ferrules are destined for an 8' 3wt cutty rod that I am putting together.
Cheers
