			<description><![CDATA[ The second ferrule has nothing to do with tip stress. It does put more of a load on the mid, and through it the butt section. Tapers that are designed to be 3
pieces, or have been modified from 2 piece for that service, have more cane in the mid and butt. If you take a one or two piece design and just cut and ferrule
it for 3 pieces, the rod will slower and floppier from the additional weight load. The tip only deals with line weight and fish stress, which don&#39;t change
when you cut the... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ There is nothing in the design of a 3 piece rod that makes it inherently more likely to suffer tip breakage. We&#39;ve got over a hundred years of experience
to back that up.
<br>
<br>
99.5% of all broken rod tips are due to carelessness and operator error and about 90 percent of those involve automobile trunks, doors and improper transport
method.
<br>
<br>
Classic or modern has little to do with the equation, though SOME Heddon rods have crummy ferrules. It&#39;s the ferrules that fail in... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Depends on whether you&#39;re talking about a vintage rod or a modern made rod. The modern made rod tapers usually have a little more at the ferrule stations
to allow for the little bit of extra stress and there is really nothing to worry about. However, a few of the vintage brands had problems at times (i.e., some
Heddons) and you would occasionally get breakage at a tip ferrule. There are pros and cons to each design. If its a relatively modern 3-piece I would say go
for it, especially... ]]></description>
