Do you use ... One piece or Two piece ?

[MikeyMikey]

Hello.

Not sure who else have a boat other than disspatcher but...
I have a question to those of us without quality boat like someone...

Answer I would like to know is "Is it a 1 piece or 2 piece rod?" Does it matter to you ?

 

[MikeyMikey]

Personally, since I do not have a boat and have a small car it is a must that I use a two-piece rod(s).

Than again I don't even have that many rods either...

I have...
1 5'6" UL setup (2piece)
1 7'6" UL setup (4piece)
1 7' Med (2piece)
1 10' Med (2piece)
1 6'6" MH (2piece)

I have a mid size car, but I normally use 2 piece rods.

6'6" ML 1 piece only one (actually looking to trade it), everything else is 2 peice and yes I have a boat, but don't see a difference from one to two piece. The only major difference I can pack my rod in a case, and fly anywhere without carring a 7' one piece around. I find the sensetivity the same. All in all 2 piece is more convienent.

just my 2 cents

Mikey, when I started fishing I had a few rods, over the years I have about 40 rods and reels, not including the collector gear.

I have both, more two piece. 6 1/2 rod in telescoping case makes for a difficult load into a Beaver on fly-ins

i use 2 piece rods due to the fact i have a two door car that is rather small. 1 piece i hear is better for fishing in heavy cover but for those of us who dont have boats or suvs it is a little harder to get around wit qa one piece.

maybe one day when i save up for a nice all species boat...lol

2 piece for me.

I drive the luxury sport sedan so the back seat doesn't fold down, so that the chassis will be stronger. So all 2 piece for me as well as telescopic. Anyone saw the new shimano travel rods???

Are you showing off that you not drive a sport car but a LUXURY sport car?

 

[disspatcher]

All my rods are 2 piece..oops, sorry, 1 muskie rod is a 1 piece.

 

[ec1]

all of mine are 2 piece. is there even a difference with a 1 piece? and plus, two piece rods are so much more convienient to carry around

Same here, most of my rods are 2 piece Shimano rods, what I'll usually do is store 2 rods in my backpack with me when I go downtown, it makes it easier getting on & off streetcars or the subway. Although I've had a 1-piece BPS baitcasting rod that was pretty sweet, and I've noticed that St.Croix mainly sells 1 piece rods, so it goes to show its probably a preference/convience thing.

It's 270hp and fully loaded with navi and everything so I would say it fits the bill.

 

[disspatcher]

what is it by the way?

 

[efka]

honestly i didnt feel the difference when i was fishing with my friend one piece rod last summer, i prefer 2 piece rods, and 3 piece is my fly rod.
i have 2 one piece rods, however they are for icefishing.

It's an '06 acura TL it doesn't suit some of my needs so looking to get an MDX for camping, fishing and snowboarding and to tow my boat when I do get one.

 

[esoxseeker]

Two piece all the way. I have a boat, but i still prefer the 2 piece set up.

 

[Bvillefish2]

Two piece I find is the way too go! But it's all on what you prefer.
