when I went to break down my 7 foot surf fishing rod it wouldn't come apart - top piece was stuck hard in bottom piece. Any ideas as to how to separate them?

Pflueger makes the 6'6" Lady Trion in both a 1pc and 2pc combo. Check the writing on the back of the rod and make sure someone didn't sell you or mislabel a 1pc instead of a 2pc.It can be found above the cork handle on the same side as the reel. PFLTSP661M 6'6" (1.98M) Action: Medium (6-12 LB. LINE) = 1pc PFLTSP662M 6'6" (1.98M) Action: Medium (6-12 LB. LINE) = 2pc Notice the 1 and 2 after the 66.

Heat the connection part, then only one side cool it donw really fast with ice, or something. Just the part the goes inside, then pull apart.
Heating: Everything expands at once. (Towell & hair blowdryer, Hot water and keep the othe part wrapped in a very cold wrap, etc)
Coolind rapidly one side: it will shrink faster than the outside, leaving a very small gap. Enough to separate.
Be very careful.

Tap it lightly on the metal part with a piece of wood, or a hammer, but don't beat on it. Have someone pull the other end while you tap on it.
If you can, look for a jar opener, they are flap rubber disks, this will help to grip it better, then twist lightly and pull.
Good luck.

hi, if you spray some wd40 on the joint of even some cooking oil or washing up liquid.. If that does not work try slightly heating the joint with a flame, but be careful

Heat up the female side with a lighter. Then twist and pull.

Try to hold it some hot water for a bit. It may expand

hold an eye on either sides of the break, and twist ......if that doesnt work, pour some boiling water over the break, that should work.

WD-40, and a little elbow grease

WD-40 usually works well for this type of thing.
