[QUOTE="Neil ofthe nene, post: 2610622, member: 12184"] From my Beginner's Guide to Pole Fishing [B]Fitting a Pole Cup[/B] When you buy a pole cup system it will come with two or three cups and one or two ferrules. The two ferrules will have different internal diameters into which the tip of the topkit will be glued. You will need to choose the one that will fit your cupping kit at roughly the right length but not shorter than the elasticated topkits. A bit of a guess but it should be the narrower bore ferrule that you will need. By offering the ferrule up to the number one section of the cupping kit you will be able to work out roughly where the ferrule will fit on the tip. I would mark the tip in some way and check that the cupping kit is going to be at least as long as the topkits when mounted on the number four section. If it isn't then you may need to cut your topkits to match the cupping kit. Cut a few inches above the mark and try the ferrule for fit. You will be gluing the ferrule in place so a snug but not necessarily tight fit is required. If you need to cut some more off the tip to get the right fit do so in one inch stages. DO NOT GLUE THE FERRULE IN PLACE YET If the cupping kit with ferrule in place will be longer than your topkits by more than four to five inches you will want to shorten it. If a lot longer then you may need to use the ferrule with the wider fitting. To shorten the cupping kit by a few inches you cut and telescope the number one section. Cut the section at a point halfway along its length. Tidy up the cut and telescope the two halves together. This should reduce the length by around four inches. If the cupping kit is still too long then repeat the process at the three quarters and quarter point until the kit is the right length. One benefit of this telescoping method of shortening is that it will stiffen the cupping kit so it won't bend as much when shipping out with a full cup. Once you are happy that the assembled cupping kit is the right length then glue the ferrule in place using an epoxy glue. Most cupping kits are take apart but if the cupping kit is telescopic then please ensure it is telescoped before gluing the ferrule in place. [/QUOTE]
