Keep'em clean

Illustrating these neat ferrule plugs by simply shooting the unpacking in a tight shot

Janusz,

They aren't mine but my good friend Henning's. I think he bought them in one of the Danish shops Korsholm or Go Fishing. I can't find them in any of their web shops, so you might have to contact them directly.

Searching the web helped little. Ferrule and brush is a very common combination... for brushes - makeup, paint etc, but not easily found for fly rod accessories.

Maybe oversize pipe cleaners will do the job? I also found some by searching eBay for "big pipe cleaners". 4-6-10mm diameter would make a nice set for most rods. You typically get 20 or 30 for less than 5 USD. A small DIY-project maybe?

Since you got this far …


The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
