Default 1 piece or 2 piece rod

Hi,

We have numerous multi-section rods, and use them while travelling in
Africa, our web page shows a 9.5kg (21lb) Tigerfish caught on a 6 piece
spinning rod, that has also caught some very large sea fish as well. Our
pages on Angola show our early fishing at Rio Longa with Tarpon to 100lbs,
caught on 4 piece rods. The number of pieces of a rod are not the issue, the
quality of the build and whether you use lines within the manufacturers
range, or not. Any overloaded rod or poorly built rod will break - one piece
or multi-sections.

Choise quality and a rod to suit your needs, the number of rods that lose
the tips when trapped in car or trunk doors is more than fish break!

Hope that helps confuse the issue further.

Cheers

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