I have an old metal Telescopic fly rod. Man what a club! We sure have come a long way.
I would have agreed totally with you a few years ago on the One piece rod over a multi piece (at least in fly fishing which I am sure a rod and a pole have the same wanted flex to the individual) But with the new tech and the new Ferruls, I will have to disagree with a multi piece being an unwanted flex. I would let anyone try my 2 piece 7' 4wt and my four piece 7' 4wt superfines and you will find them so darn close it's crazy.
I know you can get by with a one piece POLE and in shorter 6' fly rods. But don't be afraid of multi pieces these days. [cool]
