Something that I'm thinking about (putting off the inevitable) is getting an 8wt fly rod.
My problem is that although I'm looking for a multi piece rod as I like fishing in different places, I always thought that where pieces of the rod joined created a flat spot.
It seems to be much more of a trend today, maybe it's air travel but there are loads of rods that are made up of three, four or more pieces that will surely have more flat spots. Is it that the technology is better or it's fashionable?
Is it a compromise or can someone that uses a multi piece rod of any discipline say whether it is as good at casting or playing fish as a two or one piece rod?
I think it must be fashion, I'm not complaining, it gives me more options but I do wonder if people that don't need to take rods on planes or bicycles are being misled as to what is best for them?
Cheers Matthew.
