I know that many of you were familiar with my encounter with the Outdoor Provision Company where the salesman did not want to provide me an option for a two piece rod that I desired. His response was that the store was going to purchase only four piece rods for sales. I talked with them later today and the gentleman tried to convince that a two piece rod was a "thing of the past." In his words, "two piece rods were no longer in desire with his customers." Several of you stated that because of airfare issues that two pieces would not be acceptable and that four piece, five piece and six piece would be the way to go. My question is this-In the next 20 years, will two piece rods "die a death" because of their ease of portability? Will two piece rods in the next 20 years be "a thing of the past?" I would appreciate everyone's input. Thanks
