It takes rod companies more time to make 4pc rods, since each ferrule has to be fitted precisely, and 4 pc rods have 3 ferrules instead of just one like 2 pc rod. Therefore, there is more cost involved in making them.
With today's rods, there is no difference in smoothness or strength between 2pc, 3pc, and 4pc rods built by reputable rod companies. I currently don't own one 2 pc fly rod. All of mine are either 3 pc, or 4 pc.
