Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 3wt

Steve--That's exactly my rationale as well.  I had a 2-pc that I've replaced with a similar 4pc because it was just too difficult to get around with (often ride to fishing on my bike).  Part of my hesitation to get a 2pc short rod is that it won't quite fit with my others, which make backpacking logistics a bit more difficult.  I've seen 8pc rods, which basically fit in a pringles can, and though its intriguing I hear they are a total pain to use.

John -- With fewer sections, two piece rods will generally weigh less than their 3 or 4pc counterparts, are quicker to setup, and in some cases cheaper.  Additionally, some people find the smoother taper over the rod length with only one connection results in greater feel and a more consistent action.  But note that these differences are fairly marginal and in some cases completely unnoticeable.   

All of my light rods are 4 piece for packability and all of my heavy rods are... 4 piece for packability.  Around here my 6 and 8wts are my daily drivers.  All other rods are specialty and get most their use out of a backpack or an overhead storage compartment.  Two and 3 piece rods are just not as practical for me, but to each his own.
