All of my rods are multi piece rods. I would prefer the two piece myself if given a choice. I have to be able to fit them in the truck without the little guys in the back testing the weight of the rod. :0) I wrote earlier that my buddy broke his rod while we were out. It was a Powell Tiburon 9 wt and it did split at one of the connecting spots towards the end of the rod. My husband has the same rod and I don't think I will be too quick to borrow it. I was forgiven for the reel and it was fixed the next day. Of course it probably isn't wise to hold a grudge against the fly tyer in the family <g> and he is a very wise man. Deb
