Flyrods - I'm taking a poll

What is more common, 2 piece, 3 piece, or other?

mine is 9'6" and it's only a 2 piece, so it's rather long, and hard to fit in the car without worrying about breaking it...

thanks for the response Skip!

I have 2 piece, 3, 4, and 6 piece rods. The 6 travels better, but tends to loosen at the joints if you don't keep checking it, as do most rods except there are more joints to check. The 4 and 3 are just on the edge of fiting in a suitcase (9'6" and 9'). The 12 footer is a four piece and is still almost 3'6" packed. So if you are looking for a good packable rod I'd recommend 4 piece. For ease of use 3 piece. And while I like my 6 piece it does need watching and seems a little stiff.

Longer is always better Amy.....

And Thanks

Amy, Making the longer ones is usually best because most of the multi-piece rods that I have seen (I'm sure there are exceptions) already come with cases. With most of the longer rods cases must be purchased seperately.

I think the colors on this one are going to look really nice with that rod you made Skip

NICE

It's kind of difficult to get a good picture of this, but here it is :)

you're welcome Skip, I'm glad I had these colors of fabric lying around

I'd really like to try and recycle some breathable waders into some of these but I don't have any to experiment with, yet.
on that note, if anyone would like to donate their leaky breathable waders, and want one custom made to fit your rod, bring them to the One Fly :)

yeah, um, it's the last part of your statement that doesn't seem to work out in my favor 

Thanks rookie :)

Thanks Cold  :)

 and thank you coldfront :) Home Economics class in high school paid off, not to mention a talented grandmother willing to help out when I needed it over the years has helped :) I like to sew

nice work...

i do not want to steal any thunder from this thread, but since the topic is at hand, at kmart, lowes, walmart, etc. they carry a tool carrying tube that is the same design as a hardcase rod tube.  at 5 dollars, you save a lot not paying for the name on the tube.  It isn't just pbc pipe either; 2 cloth sections for a piece 9 ft. rod. 

Very Nice!

I like my 4 piece 10 foot helios rod

thanks acmaul :)
