I'm looking at getting a new rod 6.5 feet for my baitcaster and
wondering if any downfalls with a 2 piece rod?

Pitfalls of a two piece rod? Sure there are. Most one piece rods are more
sensitive and stronger as well. Plus, if you break the rod down often,
you'll wear the ferrule, making for a loose fit. This in turn causes a
greater sensitivity loss and the possibility of the rod flying apart at the
least opportune moment. This usually happens when you have your lure
irretrievably snagged and have to break off.

All of my rods under 8 feet are one piece. More sensitive, more durable,
what more do you need?
