I got my son a new Ugly Stick 2 piece rod. He has several one piece rods, but he wanted a two piece rod so he could put it in the car and use the pole as he travels to other bodies of water. After one use, the two piece pole is stuck, and stuck firmly. I turned it upside down overnight and I put some 3 in 1 oil so it ran down in the opening. It did not work. I took a small bag of ice and I wrapped it around the pole to see if that would work as I read that on the internet, but nothing. We pulled several times on in, but nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you all,
Bruce
