Ok, so i have noticed that fly rods come in as many as 7 pieces. Why? I know very little about fly rods, but i do know that with spinning/baitcasting rods that not having a solid 1 piece blank creates stress points, weak spots, reduces casting accuracy, as well as decreasing sensitivity. sensitivity shouldn't be an issue with a fly but i would imagine that throwing 50 feet of fly line would be a pretty heavy strain for the rod and i would think that accuracy would be very important to anyone casting to rising trout. I can understan a 2 piece because that gives you 2 four foot six pieces instead of a 9 foot that most of us would have to poke out the back window to drive to the fishing hole. however, i don't understand why you would want a 4 piece 8 foot 3 wt. can some one plz explain?
