Looking at picking up this JDM Zodias rod - does anyone know if this is a one piece rod or not? It only describes it as "one and grip". If anyone could help me out I'd be very appreciative!

The 1 in front of the length indicates 1 piece. 

Most jdm rods I have gotten are one piece rod but the joint is at the grip.  So it's two pieces but the rod is one solid piece that connects to the grip section.

That's what I was thinking this may be

My fishing buddy had a JDM two pieces Zodiac rod. The joint is at the middle, which makes it a little tip-heavy. But this is a one piece rod.

Are you saying this is all one solid piece like you get with a USDM one piece? Or like djhands said above where the blank connects to the grip at the locking nut

In general for jdm rods.

2 piece rods under 7ft6in are split in the middle of the blank.  Bigger 2 piece rods are done at the handle.  The model you are looking at is a one piece.

I have a Poison Adrena like that,  No different then a one piece rod in action.  A bit heavier maybe !!!

In the rod specifics it states

Item Length: 2.08 m
Number of Pieces: 1 and grip
Folded Length: 178.9 cm

 

So the grip comes off, to me this aint 1 pc
