If anyone still makes them you're paying a HUGE amount of money for shipping and gaining nothing. Snook_Slayr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while I agree that the 70/30 split 2-piece rods are great (I have a few), given the choice I still prefer a one piece. Call me old school ;-).

The problem is, the blank or rod still gets shipped at least twice by the time it arrives where you're going to buy it. Most people *think* a one piece is better because old 50/50 blanks sucked. Modern butt over tip 70/30 blanks are perfection. There's absolutely no difference in how they fish compared to a one piece. Tip over butt 50/50 or 70/30 blanks still have many downfalls compared to one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamN Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 Look into the odm nex1 line They're phenomenal blanks 1 piece and fish kinda like a slightly more modern gsb Or I've got a pile of old glass blanks in the 8.5-10 foot range in my workshop If you let me know exactly what you're looking for I may be able to find something for ya Nite_Bite_00 and FisherMan120 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBHarvey Posted September 22 Report Share Posted September 22 even if you want to claim that 1 piece blanks aren't better, if storage and transportation aren't issues, why would someone be better off with a 2 piece rod instead of a 1 piece? ferrules do break, they do get stuck. linesiderdemdnj, chocodove and bubbakim 2 1 I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
