I like both. But, if I have a choice, I will choose a 3 piece because it is so much more convenient to carry. My three piece 8 1/2' rod is in a smaller
tube and therefore easilier to carry, than my 7 1/2' two piece.

Mcflyfish and 615 have summed it up. With my personal casting history and style, one piece rods are the best - but a bear to transport. However, not everyone
has been fortunate to own Howells and Talbot 1 piece rods. I've seen, but not fished, Leonard 1 piece rods but they are rare and very expensive. For the
rest, my mix is both 2 and 3 piece rods and I find more variations between individual rods than 2-3 piece configurations. For example, I've owned a couple
Leonard model 50's that were superb, and one woofer.

I agree with 615 - every fisherman is different - casts diferent, etc. Use what works for you. I own both 2 and 3 piece rods and keep what works for me. I
have never regretted owning a 3 piece rod.

Some of the greatest rods in the history of the sport were 3-piecers: FE Thomas 8-footer, Leonard #50, all of the Grangers past 7ft, Paynes...the list
continues. Marc Aroner once told me he like three-piece rods better because, he said: "I can do more with them," meaning the tapers.

I order only 3 piece rods. However, If I get a good steal on a "used" 2-piece rod, I take it.
