It always bothered me that the "Avid" spinning rods are almost all one piece. St Croix always said the one piece has a much better action.

But with the top end fly rods, they say that the connections are perfect, and won't hurt the action........ so why can't they do a perfect connection with the spin rods??

But I have tried a LE and LU 4 piece, and they seem to work fine for me!!

My favorite trout rod is my 8' 2 piece 3wt Avid. Now that is a beautiful thing to fish with.
