An old trick for that NOT to happen......
Before you put your rod together (when on the boat, edge of the river etc.), rub your finger over your nose (most people have oily noses!), yes, the OUTSIDE of your nose....
.... then transfer the oil to your top half of the rod base.... works wonders and never have the problem of the two parts sticking!!
Sounds funny, learned it from an 80+ year old fisherman many years ago and I haven't had a rod stick since (as long as I remember to do it...[:I])
