Which Do You Prefer? 2024

macmichael reply :

I really like 2 piece rods but am slowly converting to liking one piece rods.

Which do you prefer?

jbsoonerfan reply :

1 piece. I wouldn't own a 2 piece

kingkong85 reply :

1 piece.

Blues19 reply :

1 piece

FlipnLimits reply :

For travel or a camper........2 pc

For everyday fishing from a boat.......1 pc

bootytrain reply :

I use a lot of 2 piece because I have a smallish car, but when possible I use my 1 piece rods.

Texasangler14 reply :

1 piece for sure.

michang5 reply :

Sorry, but this question is a bit pointless. No offense.

I have 2 one-piece rods. I like them.

I have 1 two-piece rod that I bought for travel. I like it.

When I go camping with the family and the CR-V is jam packed with gear, I have to take my 2-piece. Today, I had to load my daughter and two classmates in the Prius. I wanted to fish after so I had to take the 2-piece.

Normally I can put my back seat down so I drive around with all three rods in the car.

I don't see this as a question of preference, but necessity.

Mike L reply :

1 piece for me.

I had a 2 piece come apart one time after casting and that was it.

(It was probably my fault for not checking it first)

None taken. Thanks for your reply.

bclark7b reply :

I bought my first one piece last year. I won't be going back to two pieces.

lmbfisherman reply :

I prefer 1 pc, but I do have a couple 2 pc rods that I use for travel in my trunk.

masterbass reply :

I have both, but prefer the one pieces. I only use the two pieces if I have to due to travel constraints. However, I'm not sure if the one pieces are more sensitive. For me it's psychological to prefer them. Do you guys truly think they fish better?

bigbill reply :

I prefer one piece rods lately. I been changing to one piece when I can. The backbone feels more solid to me with the one piece rods. I still have a mix of both.

Tywithay reply :

I haven't had a 2 piece for 15-20 years. I'll never own another.

CJV reply :

I've never owned a two piece rod and don't plan on it.

Bluebasser86 reply :

Only 2 piece rods I own anymore are my surfcasting rods I use for catfishing on the river. Nothing wrong with a 2 piece rod, just no need for one.

Bankbeater reply :

One piece.

edfitzvb reply :

I prefer one piece rods. That being said, I have seen many rod tips broken when tailgates and doors are closed. Two piece rods are also in my collection for that reason. I think everyone who has ever used a two piece rod has cast the tip off. That's why there's a lure on the other end. You reel the lure in, sheepishly look to see if anyone saw, put the tip back on, and fish some more.

Lendiesel22 reply :

all one pc, at 13 years old I found they out perform 2 pc. I will never go back even in travel situations.

Delaware Valley Tackle reply :

A GOOD two piece rod will perform very comparably to it's one piece counter-part. The problem is, most over the counter two piece rods are cheap and aimed at the casual angler that takes the rod out of the trunk 3-4 times a summer. St Croix for one makes a line of good travel rods, or of course you can commission a custom build if find the need for a travel rod. As stated, it's more of a need than preference circumstance.

stratoliner92 reply :

1 for me.

Except my fly rods and a UL spinning i take backpacking

Siebert Outdoors reply :

Only 2 piece rod I own is a fly rod, everything else is 1 piece.

KYBassin' reply :

Have and use both. Never lost a fish because of the rod being a 1 or 2 piece.

Fishes in trees reply :

I only own a few two piece rods and I don't use them very often.

NMUbassin reply :

Only own a 2 piece fly rod.

Would never even consider using a 2-piece.

jignfule reply :

Felix77 reply :

The only 2 piece I own stays in my card for those "Emergency Bassin' moments". Otherwise 1 piece for sure!

Note: I have two 3-piece rods for when I travel.

olegs reply :

One piece.

ColdSVT reply :

My flyrod is my only two piece

And get this a one piece 7'6 rod fits just in my mustang...yes it really does

S Hovanec reply :

All of my rods are 1pc with the exception of the LONG steelhead sticks. That being said, the 2pc rods of today equal their 1pc counterparts in performance. I have no problem owning one and actually, will be replacing one of my 1pc with the same length/action/power in a 2pc, just for portability.

Mike2841 reply :

I own mostly 1 piece, and have two 2 piece rods. I feel better using one piece rods because I always think I'm going to cast out half my rod with a 2 piece, but honestly I think it's all in my head and there's little if any performance difference between the two.

I used to fit 7'6" rods in my Charger as well. Granted, it was a pretty big car, but I'd carry 8-10 rods in it no problem.
