1-PIECE -  they are lighter and more sensitive.  For some reason, I break fewer 1pc then 2pc rods.  Go figure  ???

I prefer 1 piece rods, I think they have better action. Most of the higher end rods that I buy only come in one piece anyway.

I refuse to buy a 2 piece rod. A one piece rod has more sensativaty, strength, and smooth action for fighting fish. There are no dead spots when setting hook and playing fish. There is no weak spot in a one piece for potential failure like a 2 piece at the joint.

Maybe the poll needs to be revised to include the Instant Fisherman?

Any votes out there for it? :D

I think my son's Scooby Doo combo is worth more than that thing!

Speaking of instant rods have you guys ever seen those Rocket Fishing Rods, they are advertising for the kids to use?
LOL, they look like a cross between a rod and a Nerf gun. :laugh:

They don't look to have any shock or flex to them at all. ::)

Anyone have any experience with them? ???

Totally agree!

you wouldent say that with a nice high end rod. a 7 or 8 foot sure ill agree, but a 11 foot noodle rod one piece isnt practical.....


  and i wont even bring up a 5 or 6  piece 15 foot 2 handed spey fly rods ;)

  no lack of sensitivity there im sure ....  ::) ::) ::)
