Presentations where sensitivity is essential like soft plastic worm/creature and jig fishing a one piece rod construction a far better, than a 2 piece rod. Presentation where feed back is not essential, like fiberg glass cranking rod, then a 2 piece rod becomes a personal choice. Presentations where the rod is over 7' where storage becomes a problem, then a 2 piece telescoping rod, like a flipping rod, becomes a personal choice.
