Nothing. The best thing you can do is keep them clean, lubricants can attract dirt. Which in turn will wear the ferrules more quickly, or cause them to jam.

You can use a birthday candle to lubricate your ferrules. Just a very thin film.
The candle wax is hard enough to not be tacky yet provides a lubricating film that will protect your ferrules. I tell all my customers to lubricate the ferrules on the rods I make. Saves me the trouble of having to tighten them up a few years later. fishbum |

The oils from along side your nose or behind your ear will work fine if your on the stream and they are not going together easy,,, but be sure to clean with
alcohol when you clean your rod after fishing. As stated above, any oil, grease will attract dirt and will cause unnecessary wear.

Hi Guys, Hand soap as suggested by T&T, Orvis and others. No oil, it lubes, it's stable, inert, cheap, cleans up easily, and found in every bathroom
motel, hotel, grocery store, and vest pocket. Try some, buy some, get some for the kids. Jay Edwards
