Its between their 11' 1pc or 11' 2pc 70/30 split. Other than transport, why wouldn't you buy a 11' 1pc rod? I've been transporting 11' 2pc rods while connected for years with 0 issues Edited May 22, 2021 by Cerealkilla43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianBM Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 "Other than transport?" If you get around with 12' one piece rods, you're either driving a semitrailer on the beach or more willing to risk theft than I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally use a standard cooler/rod holder hitch mount with 11' rods sticking out of it on each side of the cooler. Travel 30-40 mins too. Been doing this for 8+ years. Not one problem.

Highlander1 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 With todays technology, 2 pc. rods perform as well as any 1 pc. The additional flexibility in storing or transporting adds to the plus side of 2 pc. Your determined to go 1 pc., you'll never feel the difference. We have all been there, thats why you'll buy one, because you have to experience for yourself that after you try the 1 pc., you'll prefer 2 pc. becuase of the no difference factor and the added featues over the 1 pc. Good luck with it, let us all know in a few months how you feel about the 1 or 2 pc. stuff.

RWP Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Doesn't matter. 1 piece or 6, it will catch fish. This isn't 1970. Multi piece rods are equally as sensitive, flex just as nicely and are just as strong as one piece rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba Ba Buoy Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 Every joint or pinch point makes a rod ever so slightly less efficient. If you were hanging on a blank over a cliff, would you trust a virgin 1 piece blank to hold you or one with double foot guides and a ferrule? technology has improved greatly but the strongest most efficient would be a 1 piece blank with single foot guides. We choose otherwise for convenience and other factors. If it didn't matter we'd be fishing 4 piece rods with the old tank like multi footed guides. It's all a balance of needs.
