One piece or Two piece rod?

ORIGINAL POST
Cabela`s has a sale on a rod and reel combo. There are two versions. The only difference is that one is a one piece and the other is a two piece rod. I think there is an extra shipping charge for the one piece because of the length. Would a two piece be just as good?

Well, I ordered the one piece. But only because they didn't have the two piece in stock anymore. I guess that made the decision for me. Already received it. But I had to send it back. The reel had a large chip of paint scratched off of it and the reel seat on the rod had a piece of plastic that was broken. Apparently it wasn't inspected before they shipped it out to me.

See 2 pc rods and combos.
The rod/reel combos you're seeing at Cabela's run @ $100 or less (probably a Pflueger President reel / Tourney Trail rod combo). For that class of rod/reel combo, I wouldn't be concerned about whether it's a one-piece or two-piece rod; if you get two piece, it will obviously make transportation much easier, and you're still getting a pretty decent rod/reel combo.
I disagree with Edward, one piece isn't better if you can't fit it into your vehicle to go fishing!

Ferrules that are used on good rods today,are so good that it is hard to tell the difference.If you always transport your rods in a boat I usually get a one piece just because I do believe they are a little more durable.But then I have two piece spinning and plug rods and four piece fly rods.That are over 20 years old and still work great.

If it's a quality rod ($100 or more) you will never notice the difference between the two.

One piece rods are transfer more vibrations to the reel seat. Some days I think it's the difference between catching more of the light biters.
