Read all of the advice and I do think I need to bulk out the ferrules a little.
Something I use all the time on the job to help keep threads water tight is tefflon tape to bulk out the threads slightly and to keep a tight seal. Decided to light buff the ferrules with a little 220 grit sand paper and put a few wraps of Teflon on to bulk the ferrules out. So far so good. The connections are sticking really well and overall the rod feels like it has better backbone oddly enough. Probably because everything is cinched in more tightly.
Decided to just try something a little different for the sake of science. I’ll let you guys know if it’s worth it’s salt. Would be nice if the tefflon works because it won’t leave residue and isn’t permanent.
