I have always had 2 piece rods, but have cast a 3 piece a few times many years ago when my two piece broke. I like my two piece that I have but was wondering, is there any benefit to having multiple piece rods? I can see perhaps if you are travelling or hiking, etc. that 3 or 4 piece rods would be easier to pack and carry. Are there any other advantages to having them? What are the disadvanatages? Just wondering, I can understand that multiple piece rods are more expensive due to the complexity of the rod itself with joints.

Any thoughts on this, how many pieces do you prefer, personally I like 2 but then again I don't know any different .
