I bought my last two piece rod back in the mid 70's. I got so tired of the tips coming out or twisting so the eyelets don't line up, I bought my first one piece and have never considered a two piece since. I have probably broken the tips off at least a couple thousand dollars worth of one piece rods, because if a given fact, if you have a $50 rod and a $300 rod together, it's always going to be the $300 rod that gets broken. Even at that, I would never consider a two piece rod for regular use. I do have two multi-section, survivor kits, but that's it for anything other than one piece rods.

I'm getting very good at makeing 3 piece rods into 4 & 5 piece rods ~

 

Hasn't  really proved beneficial.

i just bought a custom rod from a member here and the usps was nice enough to make it into a 2 piece rod for me. Do 2 piece rods come with a 6'5" piece and a 5" piece?

I have a 2pc SCV 7'6" MLXF in the build que to replace my 1pc SCIII of the same action and power. 2 reasons: 1. Its more powerful and 2. It's easier to travel with when my boat is not making the trip.

I leave that rod home more times than not because of the length, even though I love it. Wish I would have got the 2pc back when I built it 7 years ago.

Don't mean to laugh but I received a drop ship from St. Croix of what must have been a prototype 5pc Dropshot blank. Either that or FedEx was playing rugby with the box!

Hope it was insured.

Hope it was insured.

it was insured and they are giving him a hard time about paying out, even with an invoice.

What I've heard from other rod builders is they will only reimburse for the parts. Basically the builder eats the labor.....twice.

They do when Magilla the Gorilla is involved some where in the shipping process . .
