Simple really.
A joint is a week spot/discontinuity.
More joints = more <u>individual </u>blanks to be made during manufacture.
Therefore less joints = more uniform, stronger, cheaper rod.

Such is carp fishing. My 106 btw has had to deal with all my stuff plus all of my mates stuff for the last year or so. Its always a tight fit but fortunately he has his own car now so the suspension on the 106 might get some rest. As matt says, its the strongest way to make the rods and the cheapest. They shouldn't be a problem unless you're driving and G-wiz. /forum/smilies/nerd_smiley.gif
/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif no G-wiz for me then........

I know. I always feel guilty about the amount of gear i'm taking with me. I try and compact it so its in as little packages as i can get it, for convenience and embarrassment factor. Thing is though i like to be comfortable and prepared for anything so wouldn't have it any other way, even if it is a hassle to pack up. Glad to see the misses is a helping hand.../forum/smilies/eye_rolling_smiley.gif whats she doing while you're so kindly transporting the gear? Cup of tea? /forum/smilies/big_smile_smiley.gif

wish I knew where to buy 12foot rods in one bit !
Cakey here in South Africa there are many.
I have 13feets in one piece. I love them. Unfortunately thay said that i am going to bump the people on the plane with them. So i have to leave them.
I have 10feet rods as well in one piece. Was thinking of bying new 10 feet rods in 2 pieces to take to England. Would you advise that i leave them and just bring the one pieces. CAUSE I LOVE THEM
Sorry BIGROB has never even used 2 pieces before.
Actually i never liked 2 pieces.

Trout rods usually come in three pieces nowadays and two piece rods are now a thing of the past. The thing is with other rods, especially those that have to cast big baits or heavy leads is that if there are more joints on the rod there are more to break.
