What are some rods that have multiple (atleast 2) pieces? I'd prefer something that could fit in a car trunk.

Fenwick rods for travel, they make good multiple piece rods.

ETPR74MH-FC is 7'4" 2 piece MH rod.

MET74F-MH-HC is 7'4", 5 piece MH rod.

Maybe others will have suggestions, I am moving on.

Good luck.

Catt, I spent 50 years in aerospace manufacturing aluminum parts for hazardous environments and developed several plating combinations to 20+ years of service life from shipboard to space applications, this is one of my areas of expertise as the company I retired from (Glenair Inc.) is a manufacturing company that has a state of the art plating facility. Composite/ high strength thermal plastic materials are ideally suited for corrosive environments and the materials used to replace aluminum alloys, where possible, aboard ships and aircraft.

Alodine is a chemical film, (14-2 Iridte) provides a non-oxide film, no wear protection. Your Calcutta's are machined from 7057-T6 aluminum allow, excellent reels. Other reels maybe have die cast 380 aluminum, stamped 5052 or 6061-T6 parts or 2011-T3 screw manchineel parts, etc.

We are the only 2 people interested in this level of detail, so let's move on.

Peace

My job duties with Boeing, Northrup/ Grumman, & Airbus was to correct engineers who called out wrong processes & procedures.

So yea pass me some popcorn ;)

You might want to have a look at the Lew's BB2 Inshore baitcaster. For me it handles bigger lures, is super smooth and is also for saltwater fishing. Maybe an option!
