Are you absolutely certain there's nothing in the female section preventing the male going home properly, and have you checked the male section for anything, like a spot of varnish? Has the male section been damaged, is it flared anywhere at the end, is it relatively perfectly round ?
It's not impossible as mistakes happen, but it's hard to think that any reputable rod builder would take the 'fit' forgranted, let alone not put all 3 rods fully assembled next to each other and not notice 1 was a inch longer than the other 2.

Ask him when he can do it while you wait. Else find another rod builder that’s more convenient.

I have tried swapping them about and none of them fit. I deffo haven't mixed them up as there all numbered there's a 1. On one section and a 1. On the other. 2. On another section and 2. On another. 3. And 3. on the remaining rod. In reply to the person who said use spray or wax it's tight enough as it is so I don't want to add to it. I have heard people reccomend this when there having probs with the tip section spinning or coming off. If anything It needs some carbon shaving off/ sanding or however it needs to be done. It's just a pain as I'm working away through the week and hes only in the workshop in the week and not at weekends when I'm home 😢 it might be a job of sending the rod too him or booking of a holiday from work to take the rod. I just hope it's a quick job or it's going to be another pain if it can't be done that day to collect. Just don't know what to do.

That is now obsolete due to eu regulations !! Had this a few times with blanks . However if they are harrison blanks they are not spigots they are overfits. You need to take it back to harrison factory if thats possible they will put it on a machine and will be perfect. If you cant do that give it back to the rod builder to send back. I would not send rods out that are not correct.Hopefulky by swapping tips and butts about it will be correct .

When can we find out the name of this rod builder 🤔

…as long as the rod builder didn’t accidentally jumble the sections up before he marked them! Would like to think any reputable rod builder wouldn’t fall foul of that schoolboy error though tbh.

There is a carbon spray from Maver that is used to build up worn pole sections, could try that to build up the shorter one?
Old school way of the same thing used to be candle wax or a lead pencil
If the sections are numbered I wouldn't want to swap sections around personally, I've always thought they were built together and should stay together

I had this exact same issue with my custom rods when i first got them years ago -spigot kept twisting on the cast.
Messaged rob builder and he said the exact same - swap them about as i had mixed them up when i collected. Worked fine ever since.

I've just been thinking that I don't know how much it matters but I've always kept them the same as they come as they have a little painted 1. On the but section and a 1. On the tip section. Same for 2 and 3. I have messaged the builder who said to bring them to see him. But I'll try this suggestion if it works it saves me a hour trip 👍

Can you not swap the tips from one rod to the next, until you come up with the closest match?
Mark up the tip and butt sections with masking tape and sharpie 1,2,3,4 etc, so you can always get the original sections back together in case it’s not going to work.

Hi all could you help me I had some Harrison aviator plus Rods made and I've used them about 10 times but ever since I had them there is a difference on how far they push on at spigot where they join together. I would say maybe a inch difference. I presumed this is because they were brand new and they would go on more over time. I know I should of took them back to him to be sorted but the last year or so has been tough (not going to go into that) but it's kept me from fishing over this period. I've just popped in to say is there anything I could do to sort it myself so it pushes on further without getting it stuck on there permanently lol Tia Rich.
