A question really for the the rod builders...
I was wondering if anyone out there has had the chance to look at the gizmo that fox use to secure the telescopic section on there range of 8-10' explorer rods. Is it as simple as that of old... One tube taper over another. A bush type of affair or is it something more complex?
I suppose I'm curious as to that all important contact area that would give the joint it's strength.

When scope rods came out I asked a rod builder why don’t you do it with Harrison’s , he said why Nash make them , think he missed the boat tbh as others have no copied them .
