Hello, I just had my new rod delivered  and according to the specifications it says it has 5+1 pieces, but the rod that was delivered had 4 rod pieces and a case. I am trying to figure out whether I was shorted a ride piece or whether there is a piece that I am not accounting for.

I must be missing where it says 5+1 on the site.

 

However, if I were to guess, I'd imagine the handle 

being spinning and casting count as 2? Then the rest

of the rod is 3, 4, 5 and the case is +1?

 

Except this:

Connected using an advanced V-flex ferrule joint system, the Daiwa Ardito-TR Travel Casting/Spinning Rod includes six total pieces, which can be configured to accommodate both casting and spinning reels, allowing anglers to adapt to conditions without carrying multiple rods.

I assume then, the handle breaks apart?

The handle doesn’t break apart. Maybe the dual function counts as two as you say.  Really hoping it’s not missing parts so I don’t have to return it so I can get good use out of it this weekend! I was hoping to break it in today!

Based on all the pictures at TW, it looks like you've got 

everything.

Thanks for the help!

Hello,

 

As per Daiwa customer service agent “The handle is actually three pieces. With the 3 handle pieces, you should have 6 pieces in the tube.” They even included a photo, I guess I was wrong about handle breaking apart.
