Thanks for your replies, guys. I guess I'm laboring under the old
assumption that the more the joints in the fly rod, the worse the
action....

Well, the joints MUST be considered the weak points.....whether in strictly
physical terms or by other criteria......else, why not build a 53 piece rod,
eh?
