If I had the need for a 2 piece rod, I would buy one from
Cabela's..Some guys don't like 2 piece rods but I find them to be
trouble free, but after reading recent posts about the sensitivity of
rods, I am considering selling my rods and reels and using a beer can
with line tied to it grin I may just start out with a Diet Coke can ..


No no no... the spongy feel of the aluminum can will reduce your real
world
sensitivity and inhibit your ability to feel light strikes.

In additon as the can flexes and is compressed it will cause the line to
become loose on the can which can lead to snarls worse than any you ever
experienced with a bait caster.

SNIP

While I understand your temptation to use a cheap and readily available
can
like the diet Coke can you suggested it is really far superior to go the
extra cost of a good rigid soup can.



Good one Bob! Now that was funny...

:-)

As for the real question at hand, I would recommend that if you have a
specific space requirement that requires a rod to break down for transport,
sure...go for it. If not, your money would be more wisely spent on a
one-piece rod...
